TOWSON, Md. ? Highlighted by 41
former All-America honorees, the Towson University Department of
Athletics has picked the members of the all-time Towson men's lacrosse
team, it has been announced by Director of Athletics Mike Hermann.
The 56-player team was selected based on nominations from former
players and includes players from the past 50 seasons. The team will be
honored during half-time of the Tigers' April 26 game against the
University of Pennsylvania at Johnny Unitas® Stadium at 1 p.m.
“Whenever you select an all-time team, especially with a successful
program like ours, you do so with some hesitation because there are so
many great players to consider,” Hermann says. “However, I was so
pleased that the former players were willing to play such a critical
role and assist with the selections.
“We ended up with an outstanding team that really highlights the
outstanding players that helped build this program over the past 50
years,” adds Hermann. “The announcement of the team and the
commemorative poster that will be distributed at the final home game
will be a wonderful close to our 50-year anniversary celebration.”
The team features seven players who earned first team All-America
honors during their playing careers and 11 players who were recognized
as second team All-Americans. In addition, all four of the Tigers'
National Player of the Year selections are members on the team.
In addition, all ten of the Tigers' all-time leading point scorers
and nine of the ten all-time leading goal scorers in school history are
included on the team.
