SMITHFIELD — A former Duke lacrosse player granted an extra year of eligibility after his team’s season was cut short by false rape allegations against three of his teammates will soon be reunited with his former coach.

Zack Greer will play for ex-Duke coach Mike Pressler at Bryant next season.

Pressler announced yesterday that Greer, a three-time All-American and the NCAA’s career goals leader, will enroll at Bryant as a business graduate student.

The NCAA last year granted an extra year of eligibility to Duke lacrosse players who were not seniors during the 2006 season.

That season was canceled after three team members were accused of raping an exotic dancer at a team party. Pressler was forced to resign but was hired months later by Bryant.

The North Carolina attorney general later dismissed all charges, saying the players were completely innocent. Greer was not among those accused.

One of the three falsely accused players, Reade Seligmann, now plays at Brown University.

Also yesterday, Bryant announced that Pressler has signed to a four-year contract extension that will keep him at the school through 2015.
