2012 All-American Team Division I


The All-American teams in men’s collegiate lacrosse have a rich and storied history. Our game has been buoyed by the efforts of men who were proud of their All-American status and kept on giving back to the game years after their playing days. Most of the governing properties of men’s collegiate lacrosse today are spearheaded by former All-Americans. The term “All-American” is not taken lightly in any walk of life in our society. The awarding of this status has not been taken lightly by the USILA. Below is the official list of the 2012 DI All-Americans.

    why is palmer left out in the cold while ranagan gets 2nd team?! These awards should not be based overhype and poor shooting percentage. Matisz should be 2nd team instead, especially since everyone on the Baum bandwagon is valuing numbers. And how do mackrides and bitter get HM over gibson and dimaria?! Unreal. At least these idiots didn’t pick desko for his unending circus act.

      amen. except the part about the Baum bandwagon, he actually has earned his spot on this list.  Steele got to 1st team through like 20 odd goals and a bunch of assists, i’m pretty sure Palmer put up more goals and a huge number of assists, so shouldn’t he be at least honorable mention??
