<\/a>(Hamilton, NY \u2013 April 23, 2013) \u00a0Peter Baum earned his fourth All-Patriot League First Team recognition in as many years to highlight Colgate\u2019s contingent on the 2013 men\u2019s lacrosse awards list, released Tuesday by the conference office in advance of Friday\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\nRaiders teammate Bobby Lawrence also was named to the first team for the second year in a row, while Jimmy Ryan earned a spot on the first team as well. Ryan Walsh and Robert Grabher were selected as second-team members.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited for those guys,\u201d Colgate head coach Mike Murphy said. \u201cIt\u2019s a credit to their teammates and, obviously, a credit to their own hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baum this past Saturday played in his 60th career game and made his 50th collegiate start. The senior captain leads the Raiders this season with 46 points and is tied with Walsh for team honors in goals with 33.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Baum moved to the top of the Colgate and Patriot League record books in career goals with 163. He is Colgate Lacrosse\u2019s all-time leader in points scored with 222. Also this season, Baum is one of 10 national finalists for the Senior CLASS Award.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter probably thought he would have a few more points here and there and we would have a few more wins, but it\u2019s still been a good senior year for Pete,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cFour years as an All-Patriot League first-team guy is something special. That\u2019s impressive.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he\u2019s still in that neck-and-neck race with (Army\u2019s) Garrett Thul to see who\u2019s going to be the Patriot League\u2019s all-time goal scorer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence, Ryan on First Team<\/p>\n
Lawrence leads the Raiders\u00a0with 28 caused turnovers, and his career total of 74 ranks seventh among active Division I players. He matched his season high with four caused turnovers at Lehigh. Lawrence also has 56 ground balls this season, which is tops outside of team face-off specialist Grabher (96). Lawrence posted a career high nine ground balls two weeks ago at Lafayette.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited for Bobby,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cUnfortunately for us, Bobby\u2019s play gets overshadowed by losses or whatnot. But Bobby is the heart and soul of our defensive unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe definitely has shown he\u2019s one of the top defenders in this league, and we\u2019ve got some good ones with Brendan Buckley and Mike Noone joining him on the first team. Ty Souders and Mike Huffner are unbelievable defenders, and they made the second team after being first-teamers last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ryan has 15 goals and eight assists for 23 points. Colgate\u2019s junior captain scored a career-high four goals, including the game-winner in overtime, during the season opener at Bryant. He also matched his career best with three assists at Dartmouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cJimmy\u2019s been a workhorse for us and has really paced our midfield group all year long,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cJimmy\u2019s a throw-back; he\u2019s a two-way guy. So many teams are specialized where offensive and defensive guys stick to their sides of the field, but Jimmy does both.<\/p>\n
\u201cJimmy\u2019s a great leader and a great junior captain for us. He understands what being a student-athlete\u2019s all about. It\u2019s a credit to his hard work to be named to the first team because there are some pretty good midfielders in our conference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Second Team for Grabher, Walsh<\/p>\n
Grabher played in his 56th career game Saturday and owns a .525 face-off percentage for this season that is third in the Patriot League. He also has picked up 96 ground balls to lead the conference in that category and stand eighth nationally.<\/p>\n
\u201cRobbie\u2019s had a good two-year stretch for us, and we\u2019re going to need him Friday night,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cHe always has the ability to really get us going offensively or to stop the other team from putting together a run against us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh is tied with Baum for the team goals lead at 33, and is second to the senior in points with 44. Walsh has scored at least one point in all 31 of his collegiate games played, and his streak of 29 straight games with a goal scored is second among active Division I lacrosse players.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for Ryan that this is such an attack-heavy league,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cBut to see Ryan recognized the way he has been his first two years is good for him. Hopefully, that will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Raiders open Patriot League Tournament play Friday night at 7:30 in the second semifinal against host Lehigh. Bucknell meets Army in the 4:30 p.m. opener. Sunday\u2019s championship game is set for 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All three games are being televised live on the CBS Sports Network. Colgate\u2019s Friday night semifinal has an encore showing Saturday at 3 p.m., also on CBS Sports Network.<\/p>\n
