HAMILTON – Rory Connor, Liam Connor, Hunter Drouin, and Max Yates were selected as honorable mention for All-America laurels by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). 

Rory, Liam, and Hunter garner their third All-America honorable mention selection after previously being named to USA Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse. This is the first national recognition for Yates, who is coming off All-Patriot League honors for the second straight season. 

Rory finished the season with First Team All-Patriot League honors and a spot on the Patriot League All-Tournament team. Rory posted 49 goals, 33 assists, and 82 points this campaign, second best on the team in all three categories. The senior ranked seventh in the NCAA in points per game (4.82) and 17th in the country in goals per game (2.88). Rory posted 14 multi-point games, including a seven-point performance against Army in the Patriot League semifinals and five points against Boston University in the conference championship.

Liam paced the team with 90 points on the season, produced from 39 goals and a team-best 51 assists. His 2.83 assists and 5.00 points per game were both good for second in the Patriot League. Four of his goals served as game-winners, including an early third-quarter tally that sealed Colgate's championship win over Boston University. The sophomore had at least one point in every game this season, highlighted by his season-high eight points in Colgate's semifinal upset win at No. 4 Army. 

Drouin garnered his second consecutive Nike Lacrosse Media All-American Honorable Mention selection. The junior scored 32 goals, added 16 assists for 48 points, and scooped 31 ground balls. Drouin exploded for a six-point performance in the Patriot League Championship against Boston University with four goals and two assists. The Derry, N.H. native becomes the first Colgate student-athlete to earn back-to-back All-American honorable mention selections since 2006 (Colin Hulme).

Yates paced the team with 75 ground balls, picking up three or more ground balls in 14 contests, including five games with five-plus ground balls. He tied his career-high twice this season, collecting nine ground balls during the win at UAlbany and in the victory over Navy. He logged two caused turnovers in five contests, including a pair in Colgate's semifinal win over Lehigh.
