Rice, Mullins named USILA All-Americans; 3 earn honorable mention

Five Syracuse men’s lacrosse players were named United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-Americans Thursday.

Attack Kevin Rice and defender Brandon Mullins received second-team honors. Attack Dylan Donahue, close defender Matt Harris and midfielder Billy Ward earned honorable mentions. Syracuse’s five selections gave SU the fourth-most selections of any team this season.

Rice, an All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection and Tewaaraton Award nominee, started all 18 games this season and led the Orange with 80 points and 44 assists. The junior also set the ACC Championship tournament records for points (15) and assists (11) with standout games against Duke and Notre Dame.
 
Mullins started every game at close defense, often guarding the opposing team’s top offensive player. The redshirt-sophomore collected 36 ground balls and caused 17 turnovers.
 
Donahue scored a team-high 37 goals and finished third on the team with 54 points. Donahue also currently ranks fourth in the country with a .529 shooting percentage.
 
Harris, one of SU’s four captains, picked up 27 ground balls and caused a team-high 21 turnovers. The senior finished his career second in SU history with 68 career caused turnovers.
 
Ward, one of SU’s captains and its top scoring midfielder, finished the season with 18 goals, including a double-overtime game-winner against North Carolina on April 12.
