Four Princeton Greats Selected For US Lacrosse Chapter Halls Of Fame

Josh Sims, Wick Sollers, Jeff MacBean and Kurt Lunkenheimer, already among the best to ever play men's lacrosse at Princeton, can now take their place among the sport's all-time elites.

Those four Princeton alums have all been selected to US Lacrosse Chapter Halls of Fame. Only members of a chapter Hall of Fame are eligible for the national US Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Not surprisingly, the four new chapter inductees are all multi-time All-America selections, with 11 total between them. They also have seven NCAA championships between them as well.

Sollers, who is being inducted into the Greater Baltimore chapter, is a 1977 Princeton grad who was a three-time All-Ivy League and three-time All-America selection. His 114 career goals and 174 career points were both school records when he graduated, and he still ranks ninth all-time in points and seventh in goals in program history. No player who ever played before freshman eligibility had more goals or points than Sollers.

Josh Sims, a 2000 grad, is being inducted into the Chesapeake chapter, and he figures to be the next Princeton alum in the national Hall of Fame. His career resume is off the charts, with three first-team All-America selections, two MacLaughlin Awards as the nation's top midfielder, two NCAA championships, three NCAA championship game appearances, 141 career points, 103 goals (the most at the time by a Tiger middie and still second among middies and 11th all-time) and an NCAA Top VI Award at Princeton and then two championships in both the NLL and Major League Lacrosse. He was a five-time MLL all-star, and he finished his pro outdoor career with 225 points.

Jeff MacBean, a 1996 graduate, is being inducted into the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter. MacBean was a two-time All-Ivy League selection and a two-time All-America as a middie, and his biggest moment at Princeton came when he assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime in the 1994 NCAA championship game. He also was a member of Princeton's 1996 NCAA championship team as well.

Kurt Lunkenheimer, a 1999 grad, is also entering the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter. Lunkenheimer was a four-time All-Ivy League selection and three-time All-America as a defender and a starter on the 1996, 1997 and 1998 NCAA championships teams. He also came back from a torn ACL in six weeks to play out his senior year. Internationally, he was an All-World selection at the 1996 World U19 Games after helping the U.S. team to gold. He also played in Major League Lacrosse with the Boston Cannons during the league's first season in 2001.
