US Lacrosse recently announced their annual award recipients from Western Massachusetts. High school varsity lacrosse coaches from across the region gather at the end of the regular season to vote on these awards.

Reid Leveillee named “All-American”. The junior defenseman was one of only four players to receive this honor from Western Massachusetts and is the only junior in the group. Reid had an outstanding year as a close defender, anchoring one of the best defenses in the state. Reid is the 39th player from Longmeadow High School to receive this honor since the program started in 1970.

Noah Gurzenski named “Academic All-American”. The senior goalie was one of only two players selected this year to receive this honor from Western Massachusetts. Players are chosen for their outstanding performance in the classroom, as well as their contributions on the athletic field. Noah has always been a leader in both. His efforts in cage during the Western Mass semi-finals vs. Amherst, was one of the finest performances ever by a Longmeadow goalie. Ryan Liebel named “Coach of the Year”. It was the obvious choice that first year Longmeadow Coach Ryan Liebel receive the “Coach of the Year” award after he led the Lancers to a perfect 25-0 season and the programs 19th State Championship in boys lacrosse. He set high goals for the team and demanded much from his players. His ability to teach, motivate and inspire these young men lead to them exceeding everyone’s expectations. Congratulations to all !!!

Seven Western Massachusetts boys lacrosse players selected to inaugural BostonLax.net All-American Game

Jason Remillard, The Republican, June 17, 2013 3:53 p.m.

 

Seven Western Massachusetts athletes joined others from around the state on Monday in an inaugural showcase of the best boys lacrosse players in the Commonwealth.

    At the same time, they helped two worthy charitable causes.

    Amherst midfielder Kieran Presley, Westfield midfielder Matt Lacroix and Minnechaug goalie Sam Wheaton suited up for Team Boston Strong in the BostonLax.net All-American Game at Harvard University in Cambridge.

    They were opposed by Team Wounded Warrior, which had midfielders Drew Kelleher and Keegan Dudeck and defenseman Reid Leveillee – all of Division II state champion Longmeadow – and South Hadley attackman Evan Marcus.

    The game is a fundraiser for the One Fund Boston, which benefits those affected by the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, and the Wounded Warrior Project.

All but Dudeck and Kelleher were named All-Americans by U.S. Lacrosse, the sport’s governing body. Every All-American from Massachusetts, including Independent School League (preps), received an invitation, while other standouts such as Dudeck and Kelleher were added to fill out the rosters.

D2 State Semis: Lancers Streak Toward Perfection

06/13/2013, 2:00am EDT

By Joe Parello

 

WORCESTER - Longmeadow continued its magical 2013 season Wednesday, defeating St. John's (Shrewsbury), 15-6, at Foley Stadium Wednesday to remain unbeaten and advance to the Division II state championship game.

"It 100 percent was not an individual effort," first-year Longmeadow coach Ryan Liebel said. "It was a great team effort on defense, and if it wasn't for our team defense, they would've been able to stick us."

...Even more impressive for Longmeadow was its defense. Junior goalie Matthew Draymore was solid between the pipes, and the Lancer poles contained the explosive Pioneer trio of Burdick, Josh Freilich and junior Drew Smiley. Burdick recorded a hat trick and Freilich scored a pair, but the Navy committed Smiley was held off the board.
"They have great athletes, fast defensemen" Freilich said. "They have fast guys that can keep up and throw at your hands, always harassing you, so it's tough."
