TOWSON, Md. – The tradition of strong performance in the classroom continues for the Towson University men's lacrosse team as the Tigers were honored with the 2025 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Team Academic Award.
 
The USILA Team Academic Award honors programs which achieved a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or higher during the academic year.  It is the second straight year Towson has earned this team award.
 
In addition, three Tigers have been honored as 2025 USILA Scholar All-Americans: Sam Morin, Joe Petro and Conor Spagnolli.
 
A Scholar All-American must be nominated by his coach and be a student with a senior year academic standing and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.  Towson has had at least three USILA Scholar All-Americans in each of the last two years.
 
Morin graduated with a degree in business administration after four years at LSM for Towson.  In 2025, he earned All-CAA First Team, his second All-CAA honor, finishing with a team-best 66 ground balls in 17 games played, adding 17 caused turnovers and three goals.
 
Petro, an Honorable Mention All-American by Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse, graduated as a biology major.  The All-CAA First Team defenseman racked up 25 caused turnovers, tied for sixth all-time in Towson single season history, and 50 ground balls in 17 starts.
 
Spagnolli, team captain in 2025, earned his degree as a business administration major.  The 2025 All-CAA Second Team defenseman started 15 games for Towson, finishing with 17 caused turnovers and 40 ground balls.
