Junior midfielder had 77 points on 51 goals and 26 assistsStony Brook, N.Y. - A day after becoming the first Stony Brook men's lacrosse player to earn first team All-America honors, junior midfielder Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, British Columbia) has been chosen as the 2010 recipient for the USILA's Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award, given to the nation's most outstanding Division I player.
"This is a tremendous honor for Kevin," head coach Rick Sowell said. "I really couldn't be more proud of him. This honor is just icing on the cake for our program."
Crowley had one of the best seasons ever by a Stony Brook men's lacrosse player, posting 51 goals and 26 assists in 17 games. His 51 goals are a single-season program record and he's the only player in school history in the top five in goals (101) and assists (75). Crowley is just 26 points shy of the all-time record of 201.
The 2010 unanimous America East Player of the Year and Tewaaraton Award finalist, Crowley recorded at least two points in every game, including a career-high nine (4g, 5a) against Siena. All five assists against the Saints came in the first half, a Stony Brook record.
Stony Brook finished the season 13-4 and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time in school history. The Seawolves won nine straight games en route to a #6 ranking, the highest ever in program history.
Crowley is just the fourth junior since 1995 to earn the Enners Award.
The award is named after Raymond Enners, who attended the United States Military Academy and served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He was killed in service on September 18, 1968.
