Seton Hill cleaned up when postseason awards were announced by the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.

The Griffins men’s lacrosse team, which finished second in the standings, reached the conference title game and earned its third straight NCAA Division II Tournament bid, had two major award-winners and 12 all-conference picks.

Junior Logan Gray was named Specialist of the Year, and senior Kevin Mo was selected as Goalkeeper of the Year.

First-team selections from Seton Hill, including Gray and Mo, included grad student Logan Maloni (attack), junior Christian Krauch (defense) and senior Thomas Hanulak (midfield).

Six Griffins made the second team: grad student Ryan Manbeck (attack), senior Andrew Clark (defense), senior Zack Estabrooks (midfield) and junior McGarity Harper (midfield), junior Jack VanSlooten (long stick midfield) and junior Blake Profio (short stick midfield).

Junior defender Remy Sell earned third-team honors at defense.
