After assault charges, 3 lacrosse players leave UMass

AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts officials say three lacrosse players who were charged after an off-campus fight are no longer enrolled in the school.

Christopher Casey, Christian Haggerty and Ryan Marcus have all pleaded not guilty to charges including assault and battery in connection with the Feb. 1 incident in Amherst.

A spokesman for the athletic department confirmed to the Republican newspaper of Springfield that the students had left UMass, but said privacy laws prevented the school from discussing details of their departure.

Five other lacrosse players who were not criminally charged remain suspended from the team.
Three people were hospitalized after the fight.
