Limestone College men’s lacrosse goalkeeper Marty Ward (Syracuse, N.Y.) and defender Matt Pinder (Centreville, Md.) were named NCAA Division II Pre-Season All-Americans by Inside Lacrosse. Ward earned First-Team honors while Pinder was named a Third Team All-American.
Ward is the only player from the Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference to be named a First Team All-American. He was named a Second-Team Pre-Season All-American last year, and went on to earn Second Team All-CVAC honors and was MVP of the conference tournament. He played in 18 games recording 163 saves in 2006, helping Limestone to its seventh straight appearance in the NCAA tournament.
Pinder was also a Second-Team Pre-Season All-American last year. He played in six games before suffering a season-ending ending injury.
