EDISON, NJ – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) announced the 2026 Men's Lacrosse postseason awards, as voted by the league's nine coaches. For the Manhattan Jaspers, three were selected: Midfielder Thomas White (Second Team), Defensive Midfielder Gavin Wolf (Second Team), and Attackman Nick Henry (All-Rookie Team), per release on Tuesday morning.
The Scottsdale, Arizona product put together one of the best individual seasons in program history, with 27 goals. The most the program has seen in a single season since Kyle Gucwa (36) in 2024.
"Thomas White took a huge step forward this season for our program," described Head Coach Doug Sage.
"He showed the ability to create for the offense and score the ball in crucial parts of games. He's committed to helping our offense and team compete at the highest level into the future."
White played and started in all 14 games this season and scored at least one goal in all but three games this year, highlighted by a season-high six-goal effort at Stony Brook on February 28.
In addition to the goal marker, White added two assists at Siena and against Marist, while posting 86 shots, with 50 on target for a .581 shooting percentage. Additionally, White scooped 18 ground balls and caused three turnovers on the year.
In the conference, White's 2.00 goals-per-game ranked 10th among all qualified players in the MAAC.
For Gavin Wolf, who was tabbed to the Second Team for Defensive Midfielders, the Gilbert, AZ native supplied one assist on the year, scooped 34 ground balls, and caused five turnovers on the year.
"Gavin's been a tone-setter for our team throughout the season," said Sage.
"He's has consistently made an impact on the face-off wings and in the defensive end. He has done a great job defending at a high level while bringing consistency and a strong work ethic to our team."
Wolf also posted three shots on goal throughout the campaign and played in all 14 games this season.
Finally, Nick Henry put together a phenomenal rookie campaign and was recognized as an MAAC All-Rookie Team member. Henry became the first Jasper since Sean Shelko was named to the Rookie Team in 2024.
"Nick [Henry] showed tremendous improvement throughout his first year on the team and finished off his freshman season with four points in the finale," said Sage.
The West Islip native logged 14 goals, five assists on 59 shots, with 24 on target, while picking up 19 ground balls and causing three turnovers throughout 12 games played. For Henry, the Long Island product started in nine of the dozen.
Henry logged a season high nine shots, with three on target in the narrow victory over Le Moyne in non-conference play, while he posted a season high four goals in a single contest in the overtime effort at Mount St. Mary's to close out the month of March.
To close out the season, Henry put together a three-goal effort, with one assist on eight shots, and five on target to help the Green and White capture a double overtime thrilling victory in Hamden against the Quinnipiac Bobcats on April 22.
"We are excited to have Nick continue to be part of the team's offense and program's foundation!" concluded Sage.
