SPARKS, Md. – University of Delaware men's lacrosse standout goalie Kevin Ellington was named a USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason All-American Honorable Mention, the publication announced Tuesday morning.
Ellington made a name for himself last season in his first year as a starter for the Blue Hens as the Bel Air, Md. native was named the 2024 CAA Defensive Player of the Year and added a First Team CAA selection to his ledger. The graduate started all 14 contests between the pipes for the Blue & Gold. He finished the year ranked third in save percentage (.590), sixth in saves per game (13.36), and 10th in goals against average (9.60). He was the only goaltender in the top 10 in all three categories last season. He finished the year with 187 saves and had six games of 15 or more saves with a season-high of 21 against Stony Brook on April 13.
Ellington became just the second player in program history to earn CAA Defensive Player of the Year. 2024 marked the fourth consecutive year the award went to a Blue Hens player, as 2023 graduate Owen Grant had earned the award each of the previous three seasons.
