Louisville, KY - With the season less than a month away, the Adelphi University men's lacrosse program has been ranked eighth to start the 2022 campaign, as revealed by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) earlier this week. Additionally, team members Sean Mcgovern and Joseph Duchnowski have earned USILA Preseason All-American Honors, with spots on the Second and Third teams, respectively. 

Le Moyne, who was also ranked no.1 in the  Nike/USA Lacrosse Division II Men's Preseason Top 20 earned the same spot in the USILA poll, garnering all 23 first place votes. The Dolphins are one of five Northeast-10 Conference members who appear in the top-20, followed by the Panthers (#8), Saint Anselm (#10), Pace (#13), and Bentley (#19). 

McGovern, named a Second Team honoree, was also recognized earlier this season as a USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason All-American First Team. He led the team in ground balls (outside of primary faceoff) with 40 and caused a team-leading 17 turnovers. 

Representing the Panthers as a USILA honorable mention honoree last season was Duchnowski, for his first All-American honors in an Adelphi uniform. The NYIT transfer made his presence known at attack, starting and playing in nine games as a newcomer with 16 goals and 13 assists.

Adelphi men's lacrosse will open the 2022 campaign on March 2 when they host Georgian Court on Motamed Field.
