Goodrich Named Senior CLASS Award Candidate

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas -- With the 2019 season a third of the way through, Towson University men's lacrosse standout Zach Goodrich has been named one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The complete list of candidates follows this release.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.

The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced in conjunction with the 2019 NCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championship in May.

Goodrich enters his senior season with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.155 as a sport management major at Towson University. This semester, Goodrich will complete 300 hours of an internship working with Towson's Senior Woman Administrator, Tricia Brandenburg.

Goodrich is a three-time captain this spring, the first three-time captain in program history. He is well-respected both on the field and in the classroom.Goodrich has helped Towson become one of the top lacrosse programs in the country in the fight against cancer. He has worked closely to lead the team in its efforts with HEADstrong Foundation, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer organization, the ZERO Prostate Run and the Cool Kids Campaign, a local organization that helps regional families going through pediatric cancer.

On the field, Goodrich has been one of the best defensive midfielders in the country, earning first-team USILA All-America honors last season and second-team honors as a sophomore. He has won several awards for his play and has played in every game since his freshman season. Goodrich was the 2018 CAA Defensive Player of the Year and is the Inside Lacrosse Media selection to be the CAA Player of the Year as a defensive midfielder.

Goodrich and the No. 1 Tigers head to Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend for The Crown Lacrosse Event. Towson opens action Friday night with a 5:30 faceoff with Jacksonville, followed by a Sunday afternoon showdown against No. 3/No. 2 Cornell at 1 p.m.
