Matt Danowski (born August 12, 1985) is a professional lacrosse player for the Chesapeake Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse. He has played for the Charlotte Hounds, New York Lizards, and The New Jersey Pride. He also played professional indoor lacrosse in the National Lacrosse League for the Rochester Knighthawks and Philadelphia Wings. He was a four-time college All-American at Duke University, and is currently third all-time NCAA Division I in total points in a career.
Danowski was a starter at Duke throughout his entire college career. As a sophomore in 2005, he won the Jack Turnbull Award, given to the nation's top collegiate attackman.
Danowski was a member of Duke squad during the 2006 Duke University lacrosse team scandal, cutting short his junior campaign to eight games after the University prematurely ended the season. Following the forced resignation of long-time Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler, Danowski's father, John Danowski, became the head coach of the team. Due to the shortened season, resulting from "unusual circumstance," the NCAA granted 33 Duke lacrosse players, including Danowski, a rare fifth year of eligibility.
Danowski, and teammate Zack Greer, led the Blue Devils high-powered attack to the 2007 NCAA Final Four. Duke faced Johns Hopkins University in the final, but lost despite mounting a strong comeback at the end of the game, This match-up was a repeat of the 2005 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship game.
