Men’s Lacrosse Lands Three All-America Honorable Mentions
HAMILTON – Rory Connor, Liam Connor, and Hunter Drouin were selected as 2025 Nike Lacrosse Media All-American Honorable Mentions, Inside Lacrosse announced on Wednesday morning.
Rory and Hunter Drouin earned a selection off the heels of an USA Lacrosse Magazine All-American Honorable Mention selection last week. The honors come less than a week removed from Colgate's remarkable run to its first Patriot League championship and NCAA tournament appearance since 2015.
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).
