2005 Season Recap
With a young team and numerous injury problems, men’s lacrosse had a 3-11 record. Ryan Scott led the Mules in scoring with 27 goals and three assists for 30 points. Colby’s top six scorers from this season will be back next year.

Tim Brown was second on the team in scoring with eight goals and 11 assists for 19 points. Adam Kirk (11 goals, 4 assists) and Zach Goodnough (9 goals, 6 assists) both had 15 points, while Dan Schupack had eight goals and five assists for 13 points.

Nate Werlin led the team in ground balls with 86. Kyle Haskett had 51 ground balls and Ryan Connolly had 50. Bailey Stark won 33-of-50 face-off attempts to lead the team in face-off percentage (66 percent).

Jeff Miller played in all but 60 minutes in goal for Colby and averaged more than 10 saves per game.


2005 Season Outlook
With many of the top starters from last season's second-ranked defense returning, Colby expects an experienced group of defenders to start the 2005 campaign. The Mules were very competitive last year and narrowly missed qualifying for the NESCAC tournament. Colby will be led on defense by captain Tom Deutsch '05 (Swickly, Pa.), Jonathon Bodansky '06 (Seattle, Wash.), and Nate Werlin '06 (Winchester, Mass.), who all had impressive campaigns last season. On offense, captain Eric Seidel '05 (Durham, N.H.) will look to continue his consistent offensive numbers. Matt Roland '05 (Somers, Conn.) and Sean Murphy '05 (Ridgefield, Conn.) also will be offensive contributors.

Lax Practice Ryan Connolly '07 (Concord, Mass.) and Dan Schupack '07 (Cheshire, Conn.) are coming off impressive first years and should be impact players. Two positions lost to graduation are goal and attack. Jeff Miller '06 (Marshfield, Mass.) and Hugh Murphy '06 (New York, N.Y.) will compete for the starting goaltending job. Ryan Scott '07 (Columbia, N.J.), Rory Murphy '07 (Brunswick, Maine), and Tim Brown '07 (Concord, Mass.) all will compete at the attack position.

Program Overview
Colby's lacrosse program has a tradition of success dating back to 1964. During the 2002 campaign the program reached new heights with a first-ever NESCAC championship game appearance (Colby lost to Middlebury 14-9) and a ranking of 17 in the final national poll. The Mules experienced much success in the '90s, compiling a 95-43 record. During that span Colby had seven ECAC appearances and one NESCAC championship game berth. Regionally, Colby has been consistently ranked in the top 10 of the New England Coaches poll and is one of the area's more dominant teams. The Mules also have been ranked nationally by the STX/USILA eight out of the last 13 years.

Colby's lacrosse program has produced four All-Americans: midfielder Kevin Plummer ’89 (Denver, Colo.), attacker Matt Williams ’99 (Cape Elizabeth, Maine), defender Gabe Duncan-Roitman ’02 (Denver, Colo.), and goalie John Shea ’02 (Mountain Lakes, N.J.).
