Four SBU Lax Players Named USILA All-Americans

The nucleus to the Stony Brook University men's lacrosse team – Kevin Crowley, Jordan McBride, Tom Compitello and Adam Rand – was recognized for its collective efforts by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) on Wednesday.

Crowley was named a First Team All-American for the second straight year after racking up 30 goals and 26 assists in his senior season. The midfielder was also recognized by LaxPower last week, and the Tewaaraton Trophy runner-up was taken first overall in the 2011 Major League Lacrosse draft by the Hamilton Nationals.

McBride, a fellow British Columbia native, was selected to the Third Team after a four-year career in which he recorded a school-record 175 goals. He capped his career with 41 goals and seven assists this spring.

Rand, the Seawolves' faceoff specialist, earned an Honorable Mention nod. He won 187 of 311 draws (60.1%) as a senior. Compitello, Crowley and McBride were all named to the Scholar All-America Team.

All four were taken in the this year's MLL draft. In addition to Crowley, McBride was taken 14th by the Rochester Rattlers, while Compitello went 28th to the Boston Cannons and Rand 31st to Hamilton.

The Seawolves finished with a 10-4 record this spring, winning the America East Conference regular-season crown before being ousted by Hartford in the finals of the conference tournament.
