Cardinals Rake in Postseason Accolades
FREDONIA, N.Y. - The State University of New York Athletic Conference has named Plattsburgh State attackers Luke Weidlein and Kyle Norchi to the second team and Matt Maes earned honorable mention on the all-conference men's lacrosse team. The three selections ties a school record set last season.
A junior from Seaford High School, Weidlein receives his first all-SUNYAC nod after conference ranks of second in total points (70) and third in goals (43)--both career highs. He currently lists 31st in NCAA Division III scoring at 4.12 points per game. He became the school's all-time leader in scoring (175 points) and assists (82) this season.
Norchi is a redshirt sophomore out of Hauppauge High, repeating on the all-conference team as a freshman in 2007, and joining Zack Boyce--who played from 2003 to 2006--as the only Plattsburgh attackers to make all-SUNYAC twice. Norchi missed all of last season due to an injury, but came back in 2009 with totals of 56 goals, 15 assists and 71 points. He currently is seventh in the nation in goals scored (first in SUNYAC) and 28th in points per game at 4.18 (fourth in SUNYAC). In addition, Norchi has been added to the New York State Division III All-Stars as a second team attackman--the first time a Cardinal has been chosen to the team featuring players from established programs like Cortland, Geneseo, Ithaca, Nazareth and Rochester Tech.
"It's great to see our players being recognized throughout the state for their accomplishments," said coach P.J. Kavanagh, who wrapped up his third season at the helm. "Kyle is a dynamic offensive player who has already scored 132 points in two seasons here at Plattsburgh. He has been elected one of the captains for the 2010 Cardinals."
Maes, a senior midfielder from Lindenhurst High, also repeats on the all-conference team. He rates first in SUNYAC assists (39) and 11th in NCAA assists average (2.29). He exploded for career highs of 17 goals, 39 assists and 56 total points to break previous personal bests of 15, 9 and 24.
