Tacoma's Gabe Wood Stars at Middlebury- makes All-American
Submitted by walax on Thu, 2006-06-01 19:50.
Middlebury College men’s lacrosse player Gabe Wood (Tacoma, Wash.) had been named the NESCAC Player of the Week a week ago. Wood had another stellar week on defense for Middlebury, leading the Panthers to their sixth straight NESCAC Championship. The senior had a dozen ground balls in two games, while successfully clearing the ball on several occasions for Middlebury. No clear was bigger than the final one on Sunday a two weeks ago, as he went coast-to-coast, scoring the man-down game-winning goal as time expired to lift the Panthers to a 10-9 win over Wesleyan in the title game. Wood was third on the team in ground balls with 35 on the year.
In addition to being named Player of the Week in the NESCAC earlier in the month, Gabe was also one of four Middlebury College players honored on the first-team all NEILA (New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association). Finally, on May 31st, Gabe was announced an All-American by the USLIA, A most prestegious award!
Though Gabe isn't actually a Tacoma native, he has helped build TYLA by taking part in several TYLA clinics as a coach. In fact, Gabe attended a boarding school in High School. His parents moved here after he went to Middlebury, and is not related to former Tacoma Captain and stand out Mike Wood. We would like to congratulate Gabe and his family on his terrific performance this season!!
