5/4/2022 3:00:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Following a stellar 2022 regular season that culminated in hosting rights for the 2022 Ivy League Tournament, eight Bears were named to All-Ivy postseason teams, headlined by Ryan Aughavin and Connor Theriault – Brown's First Team All-Ivy selections.
Luke Gaydos and Devon McLane earned spots on the Second Team-All Ivy with a quartet of Bears: Andrew Geppert, Matthew Gunty, Silas Newsome, and Trevor Yeboah-Kodie, picking up Honorable Mention All-Ivy accolades.
Gaydos was also named to the Academic All-Ivy Team for his success in the classroom and the field.
Aughavin was one five unanimous First Team selections alongside attackman Matt Brandau (Yale), midfielder Sam Handley (Penn), and defensemen Gavin Adler (Cornell) and Chris Fake (Yale).
In 14 games this season, the Glen Head, New York native ranks second on the team with 38 points and third on the team in both goals (26) and assists (12). He is second on the team in shots (108) and shots on goal (57). Aughavin recorded four hat tricks in 2022 with four-goal efforts against Providence (Mar. 5), Yale (Apr. 16), and Dartmouth (Apr. 30).
The honor marks the second of Aughavin's career as he was named Second Team All-Ivy following his sophomore season in 2019.
Theriault earned First Team recognition after a stellar stretch in April that vaulted him to the top of the goalie statistics in the Ivy League. The North Herman, Massachusetts native leads the Ivy League with a 10.90 goals against average and a .560 save percentage. Theriault's goals against average and save percentage lead the NCAA among underclassmen.
In Brown's five-game winning streak to close the regular season, Theriault held a 9.20 goals against average and a .637 save percentage. Theriault and Harvard's Greg Campisi were the lone underclassmen named First Team All-Ivy.
Theriault's recognition marks the fourth time in the last six seasons a Brown goalie has been named First Team All-Ivy. Phil Goss '20 (2019) and Jack Kelly '16 (2015, 2016) combined for three First Team All-Ivy selections in their respective careers.
Theriault is the second sophomore since 2018 to earn First Team All-Ivy recognition as a goalie. Goss received First Team recognition following his sophomore campaign in 2018. Prior to Goss, Princeton's Tyler Fiorito was the last sophomore goalie named First Team All-Ivy in 2010.
McLane earns a spot on the All-Ivy Second Team after a breakout junior season in 2022 that has him ranked in the nation's top-20 in scoring statistics. The Westfield, New Jersey native leads the team in goals (43), assists (22), points (65), shots (120), shots on goal (78), and man-up goals (10).
He ranks third in the Ivy League with 4.64 points per game, fifth in the conference with 3.07 goals per game, and sixth in the conference with 1.57 assists per game. In Ivy League games only, McLane ranked second in the league with 20 goals.
Gaydos grabbed Second Team honors after a senior season that saw him start all 14 games at close defense and rarely leave the field. Among Bears, Gaydos ranks second on the team and seventh in the Ivy League with 15 caused turnovers with seven coming in conference play.
The 2022 captain ranks second on the team with 33 ground balls, trailing only Gunty.
Geppert picks up Honorable Mention All-Ivy honors after a strong senior campaign with a team-leading 19 caused turnovers. The Dover, New Hampshire native finished Ivy play third in the conference with 10 caused turnovers.
Gunty is one of five faceoff specialists named to an Ivy League postseason team and one of three to earn a spot on the Honorable Mention squad. The Bethesda, Maryland native finished the 2022 regular season with a .531 win-rate at the faceoff X with a team-leading 88 ground balls. He ranks second in the conference and 20th in the NCAA with 6.77 ground balls per game.
In Ivy League games only, Gunty's .580 win-rate ranked second, trailing only Yale's Nicholas Ramsey. He also tied for second in the Ivy League with 44 ground balls in the six conference games alongside Dartmouth's Mitchell Myers.
Head-to-head, Gunty went a combined 27-for-47 (.574) against Myers and Ramsey, the respective First Team and Second Team selections.
Newsome grabs Honorable Mention honors as Brown's third close defensemen to pick up postseason honors. The Arlington, Virginia native played in 13 games with 12 starts this season and fourth on the team with seven caused turnovers. He was not assessed a penalty in Ivy League play and picked up just two flags on the season.
As a team, Brown's defense leads the Ivy League with 11.00 goals against per game. Poetically, Brown's defense allowed 11.00 goals per game in the six conference matchups.
Rounding out the All-Ivy selections is Yeboah-Kodie, Brown's dynamic short-stick defensive midfielder. Yeboah-Kodie played in all 14 games this season and recorded six goals and six assists for 12 points. The Garden City, New York native also chipped in 22 ground balls and four caused turnovers.
The eight honorees mark the most for the Bears since nine earned spots on Ivy League postseason teams in 2016. The 2016 squad have six First Team selections.
Penn led the conference with nine named to the three teams with Brown and Princeton both placing eight.
