I'm honestly shocked that Dylan Westfall is not on this list... guess he has something to play for in Denver...

[RopeNoRope]

ASU representing well on this list.

Watch out for that guy Ian Anderson, he is a beast.

Didin't know you were a Tull guy RNR

[DiegoLacrosse]

great list, im especially happy to see Sanford got the recognition he deserved. I have two complaints though:
1) I dont like how the SLC got rid of honorable mention. If your not going to have a third team there needs to be some way to recognize all the players that deserve national attention. If the CCLA and other conferences that blow can go three teams and honorable mention im sure the SLC can find that talent to fill out a third team.
2)I dont understand how Small can be the first team FOS when he didnt faceoff at all in most of the SLC games, and took nowhere near half of Chapman's draws on te season. I think he is certainly a first team middie, and is one of the best faceoff men when he does face off, but he simply wasnt a FOS this season.

I don't get it.

Is that Jethro Tull?

[Chris Larson]

Jethro Tull may refer to:

Jethro Tull (agriculturist) (1674–1741), English agriculturist, often credited with inventing the seed drill
Jethro Tull - a British rock group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(band) Check the members.

I think that 1st and 2nd team are the only ones that qualify for All-American. I think they could do honorable mention, but honestly, who wants to put an honorable mention certificate on their wall.

Dylan Westfall? Graduating seniors who had great seasons? It just seems weird that in the most talented conference, there are the fewest postseason accolades as most other conferences do third teams and/or honorable mention. (I do however find it hilarious that there are 6 post-season lsm and 4 goalie awards in the 6 team RMLC, while player of te year candidate Austin Fisher of CSU doesnt crack any team)

All I am saying is at some point, you need to draw the line. Personally, I strive to be the best at what I do. I would not be very honored to get 3rd of 4th team all-league. I wouldn't be happy to go to nationals and not win the national championship. This isn't elementary school. This is competitive collegiate lacrosse. You don't give a ribbon to everyone.

However, I would like to see honorable mention. There is no ribbon or certificate in that. You just get the recognition. It's like a pat on the back. Something to show that you coach pushed for you in the voting.

[dtrain34]

The coaches all voted at the annual meeting last Fall to get rid of Honorable Mention. The belief was to have two teams of quality players, and to add more prestige to those that were good enough to get picked.

Honorable Mention is one of the problems with today's society; every little kid in t-ball gets a trophy now a days. For what? Participation?!

These teams are meant for those that did more then try hard. The players picked by the coaches on the 1st & 2nd teams out-performed their peers and played at a very high level. The Best of the Best.

"No, no, there are two O's in Goose boys"

P.S. What question you need to be asking is, "Why doesn't the SLC hand out an MVP trophy for its Play-off weekend? And why isn't such a trophy siting in Dylan Westfall's dorm room right now?" That kid can flat-out play.

But hes not good enough to get league recognition, because after all, all he did was try hard

[dtrain34]

The system that we have in place, in many peoples opinion, does not reward the best players. But it is what it is right now, it comes down to who has the most points (votes) at certain slots. I for one hope that as a league we make some changes to the process next year, but we will have to see.

[scrotiemcboogerballs]

This team is pretty on, but i have a few exceptions. That Walrath and Napp were left off the first team is a travesty. Sanford is a great player, but his award is the result of a career and not THIS year. This team is supposed to represent the best players of the 2010 season and while Sanford had a great season, his receipt of this award goes beyond his accomplishements of this year.

Next, who is greg sharron? why do defensive middies get an all slc selection? they do not deserve an all conference selection, maybe a pat on the back at the most, but to be considered with the top talent in the league is not correct. Instead, they should institute a specialty player slot, (faceoff, d middie) this way the best players are elected. A middie is a middie, they are supposed to be 2 way players, not just one specific role on the field. If there is a defensive middie slot, there should be an offensive middie slot as well. If you look at the other first line middies, 83, 72 and 64 points, a kid with "15" points should not be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys,

May the responses come, and that is what scrotie is burning on

you obviously did not watch Sanford play this year and are making the easy argument, he was particularly spectacular against SLC teams this season and I would not be shocked if Sanford was a unanimous first team selection (not counting Claremont's coaches vote of course). Napp should be a first teamer I agree.
