Although Serbia doesn’t have an extremely rich box lacrosse background, don’t count them out as the team heads into the event led by NLL all-stars Nik Bilic and Ilija & Aleks Gajic. Help is also coming from Ryan and Jordan Pavic, Stephen Simeunovic and goalie Marko Celic, all Canadian-based players with Serbian heritage.
For the most part, the others are pure-Serbian and most are making their way to North America for the first time. WILC 2015 is right around the corner, we’re excited to see the results!
