LOUISVILLE, KY - The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) has named the Manhattan Jaspers' Men's Lacrosse team as one of the programs to earn its Team Academic Award Honor. While
Connor Hapward was named a Scholar All-American Honorable Mention, on Tuesday morning.
Connor Hapward becomes just the second ever Jasper to earn the USILA Scholar All-American honor, after his former teammate and 2024 MAAC Player of the year
Kyle Gucwa captured the respective award last season.
Hapward was joined by Siena's Random (Pratt) Reynolds as the two MAAC student-athletes to be named to the prestigious list.
The USILA Scholar All-America program was established to recognize student-athletes from USILA member institutions who have distinguished themselves academically, athletically, and as citizens in their local communities. The USILA Selection Committee chooses three overall teams from Divisions I, III, and III.
A Scholar All-American must be nominated by his coach and must be a student with at least a senior year academic standing with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
