W&L's Dabir and LaSala also earn Individual Honors

FOREST, Va. --- Two schools secured all four major individual honors as part of the 2012 All-ODAC Men's Lacrosse awards.  Lynchburg College defenseman Joe Lisicky was tabbed the ODAC Player of the Year, while Hornets' mentor Steve Koudelka earned ODAC Coach of the Year laurels.  Washington and Lee University attack Cameron Dabir garnered ODAC Rookie of the Year recognition, and Generals' defenseman Joe LaSala was selected as the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete in a vote of the league's sports information directors.

Lisicky, a junior from Chadds Ford, Pa., spearheads a defense that has allowed an ODAC-low 103 goals, 44 fewer than the next closest conference team.  The Hornets 6.06 goals-against-average is tied for 11th in the nation.  Lisicky, a 2011 All-America Third Team selection, leads the conference with 35 caused turnovers.  He’s also fourth with 80 ground balls.  Lisicky gets into the scoring from time to time, having notched five goals this season.

Koudelka, in his 16th season guiding the Hornets’ men’s lacrosse program, enjoys his fourth overall and second straight ODAC top coaching honor.  Lynchburg is ranked third in the country in the latest United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) poll.  The Hornets lead the conference in shots (746), shots on goal (462), face-off percentage (.585) and save percentage (.636), in addition to goals against statistics.

Dabir, from Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., stepped in and added scoring punch to the Generals attack.  He ranks third on the squad in scoring with 44 points on 27 goals and 17 assists.  Solid all season, he’s been especially consistent over the past seven games, recording at least one point in each contest.  He posted a season-high six points on two goals and four assists to kick off the streak in late March at Randolph College.

LaSala, a junior from Wilton, Conn., shines both on and off the field for the Generals.  In the classroom, LaSala maintains a 3.814 grade point average as an Accounting major.  He is a W&L Scholar, as well as a two-time member of the All-ODAC Academic Team.  On the field, the 2012 Preseason All-American earned Honorable Mention All-America honors following the 2011 campaign.  LaSala has helped Washington and Lee post an 8.86 goals-against-average, the second-best mark in the ODAC.  He is second in the conference with 31 caused turnovers, and has picked up 22 ground balls.
