NEWARK, Del. – Delaware men's lacrosse head coach Ben DeLuca announced the appointment of Mark Bieda, Owen Grant, and Kevin Lynch as captains for the 2022 season after a team vote.
Bieda returns as a captain, after being voted to the leadership team last season. Grant and Lynch serve as first-time captains this upcoming season.
"Our team has selected three outstanding young men who each epitomize our program's core values to lead us for the 2022 season," said DeLuca. "Mark, Owen and Kevin are proven leaders on and off the field and they, along with our entire senior class, will set a standard of excellence and commitment for our team to follow."
Bieda provided steady presence last season as a captain, competing in all 13 games last year, making 12 starts and posting 27 points on 17 goals and 10 assists. Bieda has established a knack for making plays in clutch moments, tallying a pair of hat tricks and recording a career-best six points after scoring a career-high four goals to pair with two assists against Drexel. Bieda's efforts in the classroom earned him a spot on the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll and Dean's List honors.
Grant, one of the most dynamic playmakers in the nation, is coming off a stellar spring campaign in which he earned 2021 USILA All-American Honorable Mention, USA Lacrosse Magazine Third Team All-American, and Inside Lacrosse Third Team All-American honors. He became the program's first-ever CAA Defensive Player of the Year en route to earning First Team All-CAA and CAA All-Tournament Team accolades. Grant was also named to the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll.
Lynch enters his third season with the program and has provided invaluable leadership on and off of the field. Lynch was honored with the program's Hard Hat Award last year, awarded to the competitor that the coaching staff feels best demonstrates the program's blue-collar mentality: tough, driven and selfless, not always the most talented player on the lacrosse field, but consistently the hardest worker, and someone who embodies the program's motto of "Well done is better than well said." Lynch is a Dean's List student at Delaware and earned a spot on the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll as well.
