Kevin Lowe Named To U.S. Lacrosse Hall Of Fame
May 22, 2009 | Men's Lacrosse
Kevin Lowe's place among the greatest lacrosse players ever to play the sport has never been in doubt since the day he graduated from Princeton in 1994. This fall, it becomes official.
Lowe is among the eight members of the Class of 2009 to be inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, as chosen by the U.S. Lacrosse Board of Directors. Lowe will be the 13th member of the Princeton program to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame and first to play for Bill Tierney, a 2002 inductee.
The Class of 2009 will be inducted into the Hal of Fame on Nov. 7, at which point Lowe will join his father Alan, a longtime high school coach on Long Island, and brother Darren, a great player at Brown, in the Hall of Fame.
"Kevin Lowe quarterbacked Princeton's offense to two NCAA championships," Tierney said. "Along with Scott Bacigalupo, Kevin's matriculation at Princeton ignited the resurgence of Princeton lacrosse and was instrumental in solidifying our spot at the elite level of Division I lacrosse to this day."
Lowe is the all-time leading scorer in Princeton men's lacrosse history with 247 career points. He also holds the school records for assists in a career (174) and game (nine), and he is the only player in school history to score at least one point in every game Princeton played during his four years (Ryan Boyle '04 scored at least one point in every game he played, but he missed four games during his career).
Additionally, Lowe is the only player in lacrosse history to score an overtime goal in an NCAA championship game and a Major League Lacrosse championship game.
When Lowe graduated, he had the four highest single-season assist totals in school history, and he still has four of the top seven. He came to Princeton in the early days as Tierney began to build his dynasty, and Lowe would play for NCAA championship teams in 1992 and 1994. The championship his senior year came on his 73rd and final career goal, which came in overtime against Virginia.
He was a four-time All-Ivy League selection, earning first-team honors his final three years. He was also a first-team All-America in 1994, when he was also the Ivy League Player of the Year and the national attackman of the year.
Beyond Princeton, he had a long playing career in the indoor and outdoor professional leagues, and his overtime goal gave the Long Island Lizards the 2003 MLL championship. Lowe earned Most Valuable Player honors for the game.
