In addition, Crossett, Schneidman and DiStefano were chosen to compete in the USILA Division III North-South All-Star Game, which was held on Friday, May 27, at Goucher College in Maryland.

DeLuca finished with 27 goals and 17 assists for 44 points in 19 games. He won 72.2 percent of his faceoffs (114-of-158) and led the Red Dragons with 61 ground balls. DeLuca is an All-American for the third straight year, including first-team honors as both a junior and senior.

DiStefano, a starter in all 19 games, led Cortland with 57 points and was second with both 35 goals and 22 assists. He scored three game-winning goals and grabbed 25 ground balls. DiStefano was an honorable mention All-America as a junior in 2010.
