NEWARK, Del. – Delaware men's lacrosse defender Owen Grant and attacker Mike Robinson were recognized as USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason All-Americans, the organization announced on Tuesday. Grant was named to the Preseason Second Team and Robinson was as 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 led the squad and was second in the conference. The Blue Hens' defense allowed 10.76 goals per game, which was the best in the CAA. The redshirt-senior from Ontario, Canada earned Second Team All-American honors from USA Lacrosse Magazine 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 conference, 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. He played an important role in the Blue Hens' first win in program history against Johns Hopkins, scoring five goals en route to a 12-10 victory. 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.
