YORK, Pa. - University of Mary Washington junior attacker Luke Dick was named as a first team selection to the 2013 All-Capital Athletic Conference men's lacrosse team on Wednesday, and senior middie Sean Dacey was named to the second team by the league's coaches.
York sophomore Tyler Hutson (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill)
became the first men’s lacrosse player in conference history
to win the CAC Player of the Year award the year after being
selected by the coaches as the Rookie of the Year.
Hutson, one of six players from the second-place Spartans to earn
all-conference recognition this season, picked up his
second-straight first-team All-CAC nod. He joins Salisbury’s
Jeff Bigas (2002 Rookie, 2005 Player) as the only players to win
both men’s lacrosse awards. Hutson is also the first Spartan
to be named men’s lacrosse Player of the Year.
Hutson and junior midfielder Seth Krolus (Westminster, Md./Loyola
Blakefield) were picked by the conference coaches as first-team
all-stars while senior defender Justin Gordon (Baltimore,
Md./Archbishop Curley), junior midfielder James Lowe (Monrovia,
Md./Urbana), sophomore short stick specialist Drew Thomas
(Limerick, Pa./Spring-Ford) and freshman goalie Caleb Abney (Forest
Hill, Md./Fallston) were York’s second-team all-stars.
The Frostburg State combination of freshman attack Spencer Love
(Westminster, Md./Winters Mill) and coach Tommy Pearce secured the
votes for the Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year awards,
respectively. Love joins junior teammate Ryan Serio (Pasadena,
Md./Chesapeake) as Bobcats to win the Rookie of the Year award.
Pearce, who started the FSU program three years ago, won the Coach
of the Year award for the first time.
Bobcats joining Serio on the All-CAC second team were junior long
pole Korey Bosley (York, Pa./York) and sophomore defenders Zack
Burkhardt (Baltimore, Md./Eastern Tech) and Paul Newman (Pasadena,
Md./Archbishop Spalding).
Two-time defending national champion Salisbury, which is ranked No.
8 in the country this season and will host the CAC title game
Sunday (5/5) at 1 p.m., placed 11 players on the 29-player All-CAC
team.
Seven Sea Gulls were named first-team all-stars in 2013, including
senior midfielder Eric Kluge (North East, Md./North East), senior
defender Brett Baer (Manchester, Md./Westminster), junior defender
Josh Martin (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna), senior face off specialist
Tyler Granelli (North Salem, N.Y./John Jay), freshman short stick
specialist Preston Dabbs (St. Mary’s City, Md./St.
Mary’s Ryken), junior long pole Zeke Smith (Frederick,
Md./Walkersville) and junior goalie Alex Taylor (Woodbine,
Md./Glenelg).
Granelli was named to the All-CAC team for the third-straight year,
including his second-straight first-team appearance, while Smith
and Taylor were second-team all-stars in 2012.
Second-team all-stars for the Sea Gulls include junior attack Rhett
DePol (Chester, Md./St. Mary’s), junior midfielders Greg
Korvin (Odenton, Md./Arundel) and Tyler Smith (Madison,
N.J./Madison) along with sophomore defender Knute Kraus (Rancho
Santa Margarita, Calif./Tesoro). All are first-time All-CAC
honorees.
St. Mary’s, which finished third in the CAC regular-season
but advanced to Sunday’s CAC title match at Salisbury, earned
five All-CAC awards, including senior attack Patrick Mull
(Fallston, Md./Fallston), senior defender Justin Harty (Medford
Lakes, N.J./Camden Catholic) and sophomore midfielder Matt Tarrant
(Mount Airy, Md./Urbana) on the first team. Mull moved up from his
position on the 2012 All-CAC second team.
Junior attack Ben Love (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) and senior face
off specialist Albert Mitchell (Shrewsbury, Mass./Saint
John’s) represented the Seahawks on the 2013 All-CAC second
team. Mitchell is a second-team all-star for the second-straight
season.
Mary Washington picked up All-CAC awards for junior attack Luke
Dick (Annapolis, Md./Archbishop Spalding) on the first team and
senior midfielder Sean Dacey (Round Hill, Va./Loudoun Valley) on
the second team.
