UMF feted with Team Sportsmanship Award

FARMINGTON, Maine -- The University of Maine at Farmington men's lacrosse team was recognized with the North Atlantic Conference Team Sportsmanship Award as announced by the NAC today.

The team sportsmanship award, along with all-conference selections, is determined by a vote of the conference coaches.

This is the first time the Beavers have been honored with the Team Sportsmanship Award.

Maine Maritime senior attack Andrew DiSalvo was named the NAC Player of the Year in a vote of the league's coaches. DiSalvo put the finishing touches on a very impressive four-year career with his third-straight Player of the Year honor after being named the conference Rookie of the Year in 2009.

Castleton freshman Zach Davidson earned Rookie of the Year honors, while Castleton junior Adam Farmer was honored as the league's top defender.

Castleton head coach Bo McDougall earned Coach of the Year honors in his first year at the Spartan helm, leading Castleton to a 7-1 mark in conference play and the second seed in the conference tournament.

The Beavers completed their 2012 season with a record of 2-11.
