New Canaan's Charlie Steep, who is finishing his senior year at Bucknell University, was recently taken by the Long Island Lizards in the seventh round of the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft.

Streep, a graduate of New Canaan High School, was tabbed with the 52nd overall pick even after suffering an ACL tear during an offseason workout.

Last season, Streep helped lead the Bison (14-13) to the NCAA tournament, where they suffered a 13-12 overtime loss to  Virginia in the first round. Streep scored three goals in that game.

In his career, Streep, who has started since his freshman year, has recorded 76 goals and 28 assists for 104 yards.

Bucknell opens its season on Feb. 11 against Delaware.

will make his second book-signing appearance at the new Fairfield University Bookstore in downtown Fairfield, 1499 Post Road on Saturday from 2-4 p.m.

His new book, Hoops in Connecticut: The Nutmeg State's Passion for Basketball, published by The History Press, will be available for purchase. A press release and a jpg of the cover are attached for your perusal.

The book is a compact history of basketball in the state of Connecticut, covering outstanding high school teams, college teams and the 33 state natives who have played in the NBA. There are interviews with many of the game's luminaries -- from Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Famer Calvin Murphy (Norwalk) to former NBA stars Charles Smith, Vin Baker, John Bagley, Wes Matthews and the late John Williamson, from former Harlem Globetrotter Alvin Clinkscales to Johnny Egan, Chris Smith, Chuck Aleksinas, Tony Hanson, Ed Goldstone and the inimitable Frank "Porky" Vieira.

Several coaches are featured: The late Fred Barakat of Fairfield University, Dave Bike of Sacred Heart, Dee Rowe, Joe Vancisin, Bill Detrick, Frank Crisafi and Harrison Taylor.

From an area standpoint, there is a strong emphasis on Fairfield University, Sacred Heart University; Roger Ludlowe High School's 1954-55 New England championship team, Bassick High of Bridgeport's undefeated 1988-89 state championship team, and the myriad athletes and coaches who emerged from the Bridgeport playgrounds -- Messrs. Vieira, Vancisin, Taylor, the two Smiths, Matthews, Walter Luckett, Clinkscales, Bagley, et al.

There are more than 90 images, including a color photo of UConn's 2010-11 NCAA championship team visiting President Obama at the White House.
