Nick Washuta, who established himself as one of the best goalies in the country during his four seasons at the University of Vermont, became the region’s latest player to sign a Major League Lacrosse deal when he signed with the Denver Outlaws on Wednesday.

Another busy signing week saw the Connecticut Hammerheads sign two of their draft picks from the region -- Michael Brown (Wilton, Conn.) of Brown and Will Renz of Yale -- and Boston University’s Chase Levesque (Ridgefield, Conn.) sign with the defending champion Chesapeake Bayhawks.
