VAUGHAN
IS 4X ALL-AMERICAN; LOYOLA GRAD ALSO NAMED CENTENNIAL PLAYER OF THE
YEAR; READ AND THREE OTHER FORMER MIAA STARS ALSO HONORED

Loyola
graduate Pat Vaughan, who started every game in goal during his
four-year lacrosse career at Gettysburg College, was named First-Team
All-American this week by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse
Association (USILA), becoming the first four-time All-American in
school history. Vaughan, who was also named Player of Year in the
Centennial Conference for the second time this spring, is the first
Bullet ever named First-Team All-America twice in a career.

Vaughan
started every game in his four seasons at Gettysburg, going 63-13. He
is the first Gettysburg goalie to ever win more than 50 career games,
and he ranks second in Gettysburg history and third in Centennial
Conference (CC) history in saves with 724. A two-time CC Player of the
Year and four-time all-conference selection, Vaughan led the conference
in goals against average three times, and led the nation with a 5.32
goals against average in 2006. That mark entered this season as the
seventh-best in Division III history.

This season, he again
paced the nation in goals against average at 4.95, which is fifth in
Division III history, and backboned a defense that tied for seventh in
the history of NCAA Division III menâ??s lacrosse. He played nearly 96
percent of the minutes in goal for Gettysburg, going 16-3. Vaughan was
named the CC Defensive Player of the Week and ECAC Division III South
Goalie of the Week once this season, and he was named to the Tewaaraton
Trophy Watch List. The Tewaaraton Trophy recognizes the top male and
female collegiate varsity lacrosse player in the United States.

Joining
Vaughan on the Centennial first-team this year is Boys’ Latin graduate
Chris Read, a junior attackman at Washington College, who was also a
honorable mention All-American selection. Like Vaughan, Read is
two-time first-team pick.

This spring he led the Shoremen with 31 goals and 51 points and he tied for the , team lead with 20 assists.

The
Centennial Conference bestowed post-season honors to two other former
MIAA stars and both have a connection to Read. Jim Kielek, Read’s team
at Washington, is a sophomore attackman from Archbishop Curley, and a
second-team all-conference choice. Also making the second-team is
Dickinson senior attackman Drew Peace, who played with Read at Boys’
Latin.

Finally, Matt Kogelschartz, a junior defenseman at Dickinson and a graduate of St. Paul’s, was an honorable mention selection.
