SPARKS. Md. – A trio of Assumption University men's lacrosse student-athletes has earned the title of All-American, as USA Lacrosse announced their NCAA Division II Men's All-American teams on Tuesday afternoon.
Boomer Staunton headlines the group with a second-team All-American honor, while
Patrik McGrath and
Trent Sargent were named as honorable mentions.
Staunton had one of the best seasons in Assumption men's lacrosse program history, as the sophomore broke Justin Cecil's goals in a single season record of 47 (1995), with 58, while adding 14 assists for 72 points, one shy of Cecil's single season points record (1995). Staunton was also named as the Northeast 10 Conference Offensive Player of the Year, while also being named to the All-NE10 First Team. He also led the team with four game-winning goals.
After missing all of last season, McGrath had a career year, scoring 37 goals and adding 31 assists for 68 points, while also being named to the All-NE10 Third Team for the second time. His 31 assists rank him tied for third in program history, joining Travis Reid's 2018 output. McGrath's 68 points rank him fourth, just behind Reid once again.
Sargent picked up his first All-American nod after being named to the All-NE10 Second Team. He was the top defender for the Greyhounds, where he established new career-highs in both groundballs (48) and caused turnovers (28). His 62 career-caused turnovers passed Pat Trainor '13 for the most in program history.
The trio led Assumption to its best season in program history, as they set the most wins in a single season (11), while also making the NCAA Tournament for the first time.
