s UConn Men's Lacrosse: June 2012


UConn Men's Lacrosse is proud to announce the team captains for the 2012-2013 season. Midfielder Mike Malara (South Salem, NY), Attackmen Mike Horne (Norwalk, CT), Midfielder Kevin Canavan (Newtown, CT) and Goalie Jon Sherman (Wilton, CT) will lead the Huskies next year and will represent four of the most decorated captains in UConn Lacrosse history.  Next year UConn will look to build upon a 2012 season where the Huskies reached as high as #13 in the nation.

Canavan is a two time PCLL All-Conference member, PCLL Freshman of the year, PCLL Offensive player of the year, MCLA All-American, 2012 Team Offensive MVP and is currently the all time leader in Goals and Points Per Game in team history. Horne, a 2012 PCLL All-Conference member, was second on the team in 2012 with 29 goals and is second in career goals all time in UConn Lacrosse history. Sherman is a 2012 PCLL All-Conference member, 2012 Team Defensive MVP, this past year was third in the PCLL in Goals Against Average with a 5.4 GAA, and allowed double digit goals only once during the Huskies 2012 campaign. Malara will look to build upon a standout junior season in 2012 where he had 25 points and an assists per game average of 1.15.

This past weekend the Huskies took part in the inaugural BeanShot Tournament in Boston.  The event, sponsored by the Boston Cannons and Muscle Milk, pitted four of the best MCLA teams in New England against each other in an exhibition tournament.  UConn would ultimately fall in the first round to New Hampshire, with the Wildcats then losing to Northeastern in the championship game.  Despite the first round loss the team had a great experience and both Muscle Milk and the Cannons put on a first class tournament.  For pictures from the event see the below link:
