After playing midfield throughout an acclaimed high school campaign at Delbarton and his first 2 years of collegiate lacrosse at Duke University, Ned was switched to attack for the final two years of his NCAA career. His versatility and ability to score from anywhere on the field helped Ned become the leading point scorer in the nation and he was named the 2009 Attackman of the Year, despite it being his first at the position. In the Fall of 2009, Ned's multi-faceted talents served him well again as he was the only collegiate player selected for the US Mens National Team, in large part because of his ability to succeed at both the midfield and attack positions. In Ned's final year at Duke he helped lead the Blue Devils to their first National Championship and was awarded the Tewaaraton trophy as the Nations top player. After the season, Ned was picked first overall in the MLL draft and earned Rookie of the Year honors for his role on the Chicago Machine in addition to helping the US National Team win the gold medal in the FIL World Games in Manchester, England. Ned graduated from Duke University in 2010 with a BA in History and a minor in Sociology.
