CENTRE ATHLETICS

Press Release

DANVILLE  — Centre junior goalie Connor Jongewaard was named to the Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMCLA) South All-Region Team, the organization announced this week.

Jongewaard, who was named the Southern Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Year, led the league and ranked third in NCAA Division III with a 61.7% save percentage.

His 9.14 goals-against average was second in the conference, and he brought home four SAA Defensive Player of the Week awards.

On April 14, he recorded 22 saves – two off Centre’s single-game record – and buoyed a defense that turned in just the second shutout in program history in a 9-0 win at Hendrix.
