Character Thought highly of by not only his classmates, but his peers at the Academy, Andy was elected by his teammates to serve as Navy's team captain in '09. He has served as the spokesperson for all of Navy's varsity captains this year. Over the summer, he saw and experienced first-hand the benefits of great leadership when he spent 25 days in the wilderness of Wyoming attending NOLS, otherwise known as the National Outdoor Leadership School. The program prides itself by taking people of all ages on remote wilderness expeditions, teaching technical outdoor skills, leadership, and environmental ethics in some of the world's wildest and most awe-inspiring classrooms. Here are a few statements from Andrew when he was elected captain ... "I'm so honored that my teammates have the respect and trust in me to serve as captain of the team. Being team captain is more than just a title. It's about bringing every member of the team together and creating the best chemistry, the best team we can have. I certainly didn't want to take it for granted that I would be elected captain, but I also didn't want to be unprepared. The NOLS experience was a tremendous opportunity for me personally and there are certainly different aspects of the program I'll be able to pass on to my teammates. I'm really anxious to get all of the senior members of the team involved, as I think that's more effective leadership than just one voice. Upon graduation, he will be an Ensign in the Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer. Community Andy has spearheaded an initiative for the Navy lacrosse program to get involved with the Friends of Jaclyn program. He also volunteers his time to the Salvation Army during the holiday break, distributing food and toys to families less fortunate. Competition Named a Preseason Second-Team All-American by Face-Off Magazine, Andy is a fixture among Navy's defensive unit that has been ranked among the top three in the country in each of his three seasons, including 2006 when it paced the nation. Navy has been the top-ranked scoring defense in the Patriot League since joining the conference in 2004. Brandon Corp (Colgate University) Classroom Corp was named to the 2008 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Character A leader by example on the field, Corp is a 2009 team captain.

Corp's five goals tied the Patriot League Tournament record for goals in a game. Community Sharing his talent in the classroom Corp spends one day a week volunteering with Pre-K students at the Hamilton Elementary School. Corp also works lacrosse camps/clinics during the summer and winter breaks. Competition Brandon Corp was voted the Patriot League Men's Lacrosse Preseason Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. The reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Corp also earned preseason all-Patriot League and preseason all-American recognition from Face Off Yearbook.

The honor awards a post-graduate scholarship to the WWS Master's program following some government service. Character Upon completion of Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in the summer of 2009, Brenden will be commissioned a second lieutenant in the Corps after graduation. "Brendan Reilly has a Woodrow Wilson School scholarship, which requires two years of government service. He could have chosen to sit in an office somewhere safe and written some reports or something, but he chose instead to join the United States Marine Corps and go through Officer Candidate School. I can't think of anything that best describes his character than that. He's an exceptional young man who has done everything that's been asked of him for four years without ever once being a problem in any way. You don't get too many kids in your program like Brendan Reilly." Coach Bill Tierney Community Brenden has participated in the Trenton Bridge Community Service program (worked with kids from Trenton on programs in both Trenton and at Princeton) and serves as a English as a Second Language tutor.

  • Canadian Men's Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009
    Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Prepared by J.P Donville Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA 2009 Page | 1 Dedication At the heart of every great lacrosse club in Canada is someone like Brian Kruse. He’s the person that quietly puts in unbelievably long hours in support of lacrosse, and at one time or another holds virtually every role in the club organization including President, coach, registrar, and referee. And, he manages to do this, year in and year out, with a smile on his face. Brian Kruse, the driving force behind the Oakville Hawks Lacrosse Club and an important contributor to the Oakville Buzz Lacrosse Club and the Edge Lacrosse Club, lost his battle with cancer earlier this year. However, the mark that Brian has left on his community, his sport and thousands of kids, coaches and parents will go on forever. Like so many others, I assumed that Brian Kruse himself would go on forever – I never knew how sick he was until he was already gone. As such, I never had the chance to say thank you to Brian for all things that he had done for the Oakville Hawks and the sport of lacrosse generally. I therefore dedicate this inaugural edition of Canadian Men’s Lacrosse and the NCAA to Brian Kruse. Thank you so much for all that you have done to make our community and our sport a much better place. You will be missed but never forgotten. Introduction The Toronto Nationals Lacrosse Team was formed in part to help develop and support the growth of field lacrosse in Canada.
