DETROIT -- The regular season is over in the Ontario Jr. A Lacrosse League (OJALL) and it's now time for the playoffs as the University of Detroit Mercy has seen a few of its men's lacrosse players shine in the summer lacrosse league.
Four Titans are currently competing in the box league in senior Jordan Houtby (St. Catharines, ON/Holy Cross), juniors Shayne Adams (St. Catharines, ON/Denis Morris) and Tom Masterson (London, ON/St. Thomas Aquinas) and incoming freshman Ryan Callaghan (Burlington, ON/Corpus Christi).

He was 14th in scoring during the regular season with 73 points, tied for 10th posting 37 goals and was tied for 20th with 36 assists. He totaled 33 goals and 65 points – leading the team in both categories - in 16 games with St. Catharines before being traded late in the year.

Houtby played in 10 games with St. Catharines before being traded to the Whitby Warriors, where an injury has kept him off the field. In 10 games, the defenseman topped the Athletics with eight loose balls, while notching four goals and five points.
Callaghan played two games with the Burlington Chiefs and was also on the move being traded late in the year to the Mississauga Tomahawks. He did not see action in any games for Mississauga and In his two appearances with the Chiefs, he finished with two assists and a goal.
