U.S. Lacrosse Field To Be Named For Bill Tierney
ECAC Division I Men's Lacrosse All-Stars
Major League Lacrosse All-Star Roster
Kip Orban and Mike MacDonald graduated with additional honors, while Princeton lacrosse alums Tyler Fiorito and Tom Schreiber and former head coach Bill Tierney earned honors of their own.
Orban was named to the ECAC Division I men's lacrosse all-star first-team, while MacDonald was named to the second team. Both players earned their Princeton diplomas Tuesday as well.
Orban led all Division I midfielders with 45 goals this season, while MacDonald broke the school record for points in a season with 78 (48G, 30A) and finished third all-time at Princeton in goals in a career with 132.
Fiorito and Schreiber were named Major League Lacrosse all-stars.
Fiorito, in his first season as the full-time starter for the Baltimore Bayhawks, is second in MLL in save percentage at .582 and is fourth in goals-against at 12.43 in what is decidely not a goalie-friendly league. Fiorito was the Ivy League Player of the Year at Princeton as a senior in 2012.
Schreiber, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft and a three-time first-team All-America, is tied for the Major League Lacrosse lead with 16 assists in seven games. He also has 13 goals, leaving him fifth in the league in scoring with 29 points.
There were 41 players named to the roster for the all-star game, which will be played June 13 in Houston (and televised on CBS Sports Network). The actual teams will be chosen in a draft the night before the game as part of the league's "Ultimate Fan Fantasy" contest.
Tierney coached Princeton to six NCAA championships and then became the first coach to win seven NCAA titles and at least one at two different schools when he led Denver to the 2015 championship last week.
U.S. Lacrosse announced yesterday that the playing field at its new national headquarters in Sparks, Md., will be named "The William G. Tierney Field." It will be used as a training field for the U.S. national teams, as well as for games involving college, high school and youth teams.
"I had the great fortune to play for Coach Tierney and to win a national championship under his leadership at Princeton in 1992,” said Ed Calkins, a senior on Tierney's first NCAA champion and the chair of the U.S. Lacrosse Foundation Board. “He has impacted my life and those of so many others, so positively and in immeasurable ways. I am grateful for the generosity of so many who are making this happen, and we all consider ourselves privileged to have the opportunity to recognize and celebrate his unparalleled success and contributions to the sport of lacrosse with the naming of the field at the new US Lacrosse national headquarters.”
