OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (March 4, 2019) – Thirty of the top NCAA® men's lacrosse student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected as candidates today for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate lacrosse.

The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
