Durham, North Carolina – Continuing to boast athletic honors after an incredible season, the Oberlin College Men's Lacrosse team collected four Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) All-Region awards. 

Solomon Brennan and Colin Taylor were Region V First-Team selections, while Jacob Starcke earned a spot on the Second-Team and Evan Sardina was recognized as an honorable mention. 

"It's great to see these four get recognized as All-Region athletes; they definitely deserve it," Head Coach Ryan Polak adds.

Earning a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-America Honorable Mention and North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) First-Team selection this season, Brennan made appearances in all 18 games. Recording 34 goals, 17 assists, and 51 points, the senior also added a team-best five game-winning goals and three player-up goals. 

A two-time USILA All-America Honorable Mention and three-time All-NCAC recipient, Taylor serves as the backbone for the Oberlin defense. The Baltimore native started in all 18 games this season, delivering 24 caused turnovers and 56 ground balls. 

Graduating with a USILA All-America Honorable Mention, four All-NCAC awards, and two College Sports Communicators (CSC) All-District selections, Starcke concludes his career with a program-best 190 career goals while also ranking third all-time with 225 career points. The New York native took charge of the Yeomen's scoring production this season with a team-best 52 goals.

Serving as Oberlin's primary faceoff specialist, Sardina earned a USILA All-American Honorable Mention and All-NCAC Second-Team laurels this season. Ranking third in NCAA Division III with a faceoff win percentage of .754 after posting a 251-333 faceoff record, the Massachusetts native registered 184 ground balls to finish sixth in Division III.
