NEW YORK - Teammates Zach Schreck and Ryan Young of Montclair State University have been selected as the 2016 Skyline Conference Men’s Lacrosse Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively, in voting conducted by the conference’s seven head coaches.
Stockton University freshman face-off specialist Tyler Bollard was named Rookie of the Year, while second-year head coach Sean Chamberlain of Farmingdale State College was selected as Coach of the Year by his peers.
Schreck (Flemington, N.J.), a senior midfielder, was named a USILA All-American last season and enters Saturday’s (May 7) Skyline Conference Championship final with 53 points on 35 goals and 18 assists.
Young (Jackson, N.J.), a junior close defender, has forced a team-high 33 turnovers and picked up 75 ground balls, and has started all 17 contests on the Red Hawks’ back line.
Bollard (Philadelphia) sports the top face-off winning percentage in the nation (.738), and his impact on the possession game has helped the second-seeded Ospreys into Saturday’s title match at Montclair.
Chamberlain, a native of Holbrook, N.Y., is in his second season with the Rams and helped FSC to a 12-5 record this year, as well as the No. 3 seed in the Skyline Conference Championship. As a student-athlete, Chamberlain was a four-year (2004-07) attackman at Stony Brook University. His career record with Farmingdale stands at 20-13 (.606).
