Stahl, Croddick Win Major Awards As 11 Tigers Win All-Ivy Honors
April 30, 2026 | Men's Lacrosse
When you're doing things that haven't happened since the Princeton men's lacrosse perfect season of 1997, you're definitely on the right track.
Â
Princeton had six players named first-team All-Ivy League in vote of the league's head coaches, it was announced Thursday afternoon. The six first-team selections are the most by the program since that 1997 team had seven.
Â
In addition, Princeton had the league's Defenseman of the Year in Jack Stahl and Goalie of the year in Ryan Croddick, who earned the honor a year ago as well.
Â
Croddick, shortstick defensive midfielder Cooper Mueller and midfielder Tucker Wade were all named first-team All-Ivy for the second straight year. Stahl and attackmen Nate Kabiri and Chad Palumbo were first-team selections for the first time.
Â
Princeton was also represented on the second team by face-off specialist Andrew McMeekin. Jackson Green (SSDM), John Dunphey (M) and Hunter Spiess (D) were honorable mention selections, and LSM Cooper Kistler was the team's Academic All-Ivy League selection.Â
