NEWARK, Del. – Delaware men's lacrosse defender Owen Grant and attacker Mike Robinson were recognized as Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-Americans, the organization announced on Wednesday. Grant was named to the Preseason Second Team and Robinson was an Honorable Mention.
In January, both Grant and Robinson were recognized as USA Lacrosse Magazine All-Americans. Grant was selected to the second team, and Robinson was an honorable mention.
Grant, the reigning two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year, played a pivotal role on defense for the Blue Hens in 2022. His 35-caused turnovers set a program record for most caused turnovers in a season. He also holds the program record for most caused turnovers in a career with 87. The redshirt-senior from Ontario, Canada earned Second Team All-American honors from Inside Lacrosse and was named First Team All-CAA selection last season. In September, Grant was selected third overall by the Vancouver Warriors in the National Lacrosse League draft.
Offensively, Robinson led the Blue Hens, and the Colonial Athletic Association, in goals with 53. He scored at least three goals in nine of the Blue Hens' 19 games in 2022, including a season-high six goals against NJIT. In his career, he's scored 113 goals and is 49 away from tying Curtis Dickson's mark for most goals in program history at 162. He was named Second Team All-CAA, was a member of the CAA All-Tournament Team, and received USILA All-American recognitions in 2022.
Both Grant and Robinson are the only players from the Colonial Athletic Association who received these recognitions.
The Blue Hens open the season on Saturday, Feb. 11 with a road game against Lafayette in Easton, Pa.
