Maine Maritime broke off perhaps its most daunting
non-league schedule under the direction of first-year
head coach, Adam Sherman. After dropping the first
five games of the year, the Mariners rebounded to
take six of the final ten contests, wrapping the season
at 6-9 with a North Atlantic Conference (NAC)
Semifinal appearance.
Andrew DiSalvo '12 was named the NAC Player
of the Year for the third time in as many seasons. He
was named the conference's Rookie of the Year after
his freshman campaign. The Marine Transportation
Operations major appeared in the United States
Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's coveted North/
South Senior All-Star game, scoring a late goal to
tie it up for the North squad before the South team
snuck off with a win.
Nicholas Betti '15, Ian Lacrom '15, and Jason Smith
'13 were named to the All-NAC Second Team. Betti
rolled up 21 of his 30 points of the season in league
play with 17 goals and four assists against NAC
opponents. The first-year middie scored both of his
game-winning goals in league play. He had 42 ground
balls and 10 caused turnovers in the season.
Larcom started on the back line for 13 of the
Mariners' 14 games in the season, causing 29
turnovers and scooping 44 ground balls. He forced
14 turnovers and gathered 24 ground balls against
NAC opponents.
Smith is an All-NAC choice for the third time in his
career, having been named to the First Team in 2010
and Second Team in 2011. The defender has caused a
team-best 37 turnovers and picked up 52 ground balls
for MMA this year. In NAC play, the junior defender
caused 25 turnovers and picked up 31 ground balls.
Brian Corain '12 and Emmett Huber '12
capped their impressive careers with NAC All-
Academic honors.
