The Middle Atlantic Conference announces its annual sportsmanship teams for the spring 2010 conference sports. These teams include a player from each conference school who has demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship through their actions on and off the field during the season. The players are selected by the players and coaches from their respective schools.

Annville, Pa. - The top honors for 2010 MAC men's lacrosse went to Elizabethtown College midfielder Aaron Weber as Player of the Year, Widener University head coach Jamie Lockard for the league's top coaching award, and Rookie of the Year Brian Gill from Fairleigh Dickinson-Florham.

The dynasty that is Widener’s men’s lacrosse team re-gained its place at the league’s summit, taking control late for its 12th Middle Atlantic Conference title with a 10-8 victory FDU-Florham in Madison, NJ.

MADISON, NJ - Senior attack Kevin Shadiack (Kinnelon, NJ/Kinnelon) notched four goals and two assists while senior goalkeeper Alex Kajencki (Medfield, MA/Xaverian) played stellar in goal making seven saves as the second-seeded College at Florham Devils knocked off fifth-seeded Messiah, 9-4, in the Semifinals of the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament on Wednesday evening.

Saint Davids, PA — Déjà vu? Brent Stewart thought otherwise. The senior’s goal with 1:14 remaining in overtime pushed Messiah to a 10-9 MAC Tournament win at Eastern University Monday, washing away any thoughts of a repeat performance from just 48 hours earlier: Messiah had dropped a 9-3 decision at Eastern Saturday afternoon, setting up Monday’s instant re-match on Olson Field in one of the MAC Quarter-Finals.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. --- Jon Day scored his fourth goal of the game with 1:08 left in the first overtime period to give Elizabethtown College a 10-9 victory at DeSales University in Middle Atlantic Conference men's lacrosse action Tuesday afternoon.
