Duke’s Jordan Wolf.<\/figcaption><\/figure>Eleven student-athletes, including two each from Duke and North Carolina, on the Tewaaraton Award watch list highlight this year\u2019s All-Atlantic Coast Conference Men\u2019s Lacrosse Team, as announced today by the conference office. <\/p>\n

Maryland, the No. 1 seed for this week\u2019s 2014 ACC Men\u2019s Lacrosse Championship, leads all schools with five selections to the All-ACC team. Duke, which shared the regular-season title with the Terrapins, joins North Carolina with four members on the squad. <\/p>\n

Duke placed Deemer Class, Brendan Fowler, Myles Jones and Jordan Wolf on the squad. North Carolina\u2019s selections are Jimmy Bitter, Ryan Creighton, Joey Sankey and Chad Tutton.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame and Syracuse each have two All-ACC members, and Virginia one.<\/p>\n

Niko Amato, Mike Chanenchuk, Mike Ehrhardt, Goran Murray and Charlie Raffa represent Maryland. <\/p>\n

Matt Kavanagh and Steve O\u2019Hara are Notre Dame\u2019s first-ever All-ACC selections, while Brandon Mullins and Kevin Rice are the first to be named from Syracuse. Mark Cockerton represents Virginia on this year\u2019s All-ACC team.<\/p>\n

Five members of the All-ACC teams are multi-year honorees as Duke\u2019s Wolf and Maryland\u2019s Amato collected All-ACC honors for the fourth times of their careers, joining only five other former ACC greats as four-time selections \u2013 NC State\u2019s Stan Cockerton (1977-80), Maryland\u2019s Pete Worstell (1977-78, 1980-81) and Virginia\u2019s Scott Gerham (1981-84), Roddy Marino (1983-86) and Michael Watson (1994-97). Duke\u2019s Fowler, North Carolina\u2019s Sankey and Virginia\u2019s Cockerton are repeat honorees having earned All-ACC honors in 2013.<\/p>\n

Duke\u2019s Wolf (3.29) and Virginia\u2019s Cockerton (2.93) rank 1-2 among conference players and in goals per game. Wolf ranks third nationally, while Cockerton stands eighth. Wolf(4.79) and Syracuse\u2019s Rice (4.5) lead the ACC in overall scoring and rank a respective fifth and sixth among all NCAA Division I players.<\/p>\n

Rice leads the ACC and is tied for sixth nationally with 2.33 assists per match, followed by Notre Dame\u2019s Kavanaugh at 2.0 per contest.<\/p>\n

Maryland\u2019s Amato has been solid in the net again this season, ranking fifth nationally while allowing a conference-low 7.38 goals per game. Duke\u2019s Fowler (9.5) stands fifth nationally in ground balls per game, and Maryland\u2019s Raffa (8.3) ranks second to Fowler among ACC players. Raffa\u2019s .663 faceoff winning percentage leads the ACC and ranks third nationally.<\/p>\n

The All-ACC team was determined by a vote of the league\u2019s six head coaches who could not vote for their own players.<\/p>\n

The 2014 ACC Men\u2019s Lacrosse Championship gets under way with two semifinal games Friday at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. Second-seeded Duke faces No. 3 Syracuse at 5 p.m., followed by No. 4 Notre Dame vs. No. 1 Maryland at 7:30 p.m. An \u201cACC Showcase Game\u201d between North Carolina and Virginia will be played Saturday night at 7:30, followed by Sunday\u2019s 1 p.m. title game between Friday evening\u2019s winners.<\/p>\n

ESPNU will televise the Friday evening semifinals and Sunday\u2019s championship game, while ESPN3 will show the \u201cACC Showcase\u201d on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Individual awards, including Offensive Player, Defensive Player, Coach and Freshman of the Year, will be voted on by the league’s head coaches following the ACC Championship.<\/p>\n
