Before UDC, Urick served as an assistant at Georgetown University, his alma mater, where he finishes as the offensive coordinator. In his ten seasons at Georgetown, he helped 28 players earn All-ECAC accolades including coaching three “Offensive Players of the Year.” He coached at Cornell University for one season before Georgetown.

Urick played nine years of professional lacrosse in the Major League Lacrosse League, spending eight years with the New Jersey Pride (2001-08) and the 2009 season with the Washington Bayhawks. A four-time all-star selection, Urick was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2002 MLL All-Star Game after netting four goals and handing out one assist. Urick, who once appeared in 76-straight MLL games, scored 234 goals in 102 career games.

During the summer of 2006, Urick was a member of the United States national team, which advanced to the championship game of the World Lacrosse Championships in Ontario, Canada. Urick scored a team-high 20 goals for Team USA.

Urick graduated from Georgetown as the school’s all-time leading goal scorer with 144 and is second in GU history with 47 goals in one season. He was a two-time All-America selection and was a captain in both his junior and senior years. Urick recorded 180 career points, the fifth highest total in school history, and played on four NCAA Tournament teams, including the 1999 team, which advanced to the NCAA Semifinals. An All-Tournament selection in 1999, he also represented Georgetown in the 2000 North/South All-Star game and was the team MVP.

Urick is the son of former Georgetown head men’s lacrosse coach Dave Urick.
