Congratulations to Syracuse University’s Mike Leveille for his accomplishments this year. Mike, a former Albany Academy player, was selected as a First Team All-American, USILA Scholar All-American, NCAA Division I Tournament Most Outstanding Player, 2008 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and the 2008 Tewaaraton Trophy winner, the highest honor in college lacrosse.
In helping to lead his team to this year’s National Championship, Mike concluded the season ranked third nationally in points per game (4.61), seventh in goals per game (2.72) and seventh in assists per contest (1.89). He led Syracuse in all three categories, scoring 49 goals, 34 assists and 83 points. His 49 goals tied Matt Riter for seventh on the school’s single-season list and his 83 points is tied for the 10th-best season total in SU history. Mike finished his career ninth all-time at Syracuse in goals scored with 132, 12th in career assists with 83 and 12th in career points with 215 (http://www.suathletics.com/index.asp).
Mike’s accomplishments on the field as a player and leader, as well as off the field, make him a great role-model for all of the Capital Region’s young lacrosse players.
