Duke University In 2007, Zack Greer and his teammate
Matt Danowski led the
Duke Blue Devils high powered attack to the
2007 NCAA Final Four. Duke faced
Johns Hopkins University in the final, only to lose after mounting a strong comeback at the end of the game. In 2008, Greer led Division I in goals scored, helping to lead Duke to the Final Four once again. However, Duke fell short, losing to Johns Hopkins in the semi-finals. Greer was a four-time
All-American including two times on the first team at Duke. Following the 2008 season, Greer was awarded the
Jack Turnbull Award given to the
USILA Attackman of the year. Resulting from "unusual circumstance," the NCAA granted 33 Duke Lacrosse players, including Greer, a rare fifth year of eligibility. This was granted to many players of the Duke lacrosse team because their season was cancelled in 2006 in mid-season because of the
Duke lacrosse rape hoax.
Bryant University Greer used his fifth year of eligibility to pursue a graduate business degree at
Bryant University in the fall of 2008 where he played under former Duke head coach,
Mike Pressler. In 2009, Bryant University, a former
Division II school, played
Division I college lacrosse for the first time. At the end of
Bryant's 2009 NCAA Division 1 Season, Greer netted 42 Goals and 26 Assists combining for 68 points. Since Bryant was transitioning to Division I that season, Greer's statistics for 2009 do not count toward official NCAA Division I records. ==MLL career==
