NEWARK, Del. – The Lowe's Senior CLASS Award is one of the most prestigious given out in college athletics, recognizing some of the nation's best student-athletes, who have success both on and off the field.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Senior Matt DeLuca of the University of Delaware men's lacrosse embodies all those characteristics and was named one of 20 candidates for the prestigious award.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
A Communications major, DeLuca carries a 3.202 grade point average with five times on the CAA Commissioner's Honor Roll and an active member of community efforts with the Ferris School and McVey Elementary.
On the field, DeLuca currently ranks fifth all-time with 554 career saves, and has ranked in the top-10 in the country each of the past two seasons in goals-against-average, save percentage and saves per game.
The 20 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced in conjunction with the 2020 NCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championship in May.
