The Lynchburg College men's lacrosse team received a first-round bye in the upcoming NCAA Division III Championship Tournament and will travel to Chestertown, MD, this weekend to battle Washington College. The contest will be held on Sunday, May 11, at 1:30 pm.
Washington and Lee University, Randolph-Macon College and Virginia Wesleyan College will join top-seeded Lynchburg College in the 2008 ODAC Mens Lacrosse Championship.
Lynchburg College goalkeeper Garrett Curran added a little more fuel to an already exciting Hornets campaign by earning the ODAC mens lacrosse Player of the Year award as well as the ODAC/Farm Bureau Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. Virginia Wesleyan College mentor J.P. Stewart was named the Coach of the Year, and Roanoke College attack Matt Quinton was tabbed the Rookie of the Year.
Roanoke College picked up four first place selections and 45 total votes as the Maroons headline the tight 2008 ODAC Mens Lacrosse Coaches Poll. Lynchburg College sits just two votes shy of Roanoke, having earned 43 total nods including a pair of first place considerations. Washington & Lee University received the remaining first place vote and 35 total tallies.
