John Chorlton secured second-team recognition, while Wyatt Robertson earned third-team status. Additionally, Carter Bies and Zach Johnson received All-American Honorable Mentions. Chorlton's stellar performance as a long-stick midfielder contributed to the Saints' top-ranked defense, which was 18th nationally in scoring defense.

By the Numbers
  • Chorlton led the Saints with 37 ground balls and recorded 1.67 caused turnovers per game.
  • Robertson topped the GLVC with 48 goals, and his .647 shooting percentage was notably impressive.
  • Bies contributed 16 caused turnovers and 43 ground balls, while Johnson led the team with 29 caused turnovers.
Yes, But

While four players were recognized, the team narrowly missed advancing further in the GLVC Tournament, indicating the competition's intensity and the need for continued development.

State of Play
  • The Saints ranked 18th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 9.07 goals per game.
  • Maryville shared the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season title and reached the championship game.
What's Next

The Saints will look to build on this momentum, aiming for greater success in the upcoming season, particularly in both the GLVC and national tournaments.

Bottom Line

The recognition of Maryville's players signifies a strong lacrosse program, but continued improvement is essential for achieving deeper postseason runs and sustaining collegiate success.
