Lynn Tabs Two on Sunshine State Conference All-Freshman Lacrosse Team

BOCA RATON, Fla.- Lynn University’s first-year lacrosse program continued to make its mark on the record books when Chris D’Angelo and Brian Kiel were named to the Sunshine State Conference All-Freshman Team as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. The duo marks the first two players in Lynn’s history to be honored with conference accolades in the first season of men’s lacrosse for the SSC. D’Angelo is a specialist from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., who won 55 percent of face-offs at the ‘x’ for the Fighting Knights and grabbed a team-high 82 groundballs in the Blue & White’s inaugural season. He scored six goals and added three assists to rank fifth on the team in scoring. D’Angelo scored his first multi-goal game on March 5, when he netted two goals in Lynn’s 15-9 loss to Notre Dame de Namur and recorded a season-best 15 ground balls against Colorado Mesa on March 30. Kiel, a 6-foot-5 native of West Babylon, N.Y., led the Fighting Knights in scoring this season. He netted 15 goals while dishing out five assists while playing in all 11 contests. He tallied a season-best eight points in the Blue & White’s first win in program history on March 11, when he scored five goals and added three assists in a 15-3 victory over Lees-McRae. He recorded four multi-goal games and five multi-point games in Lynn’s inaugural season. The duo accounted for a third of the Fighting Knights’ goals as the Blue & White posted a 1-10 overall, 0-5 SSC record in 2014. Lynn graduates just two seniors and will return 20 members from the first-year squad for next season.
