BALTIMORE, Md. – Attackman Mike Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.) and midfielders Dan Hardy (Tully, N.Y.) and Steven Brooks (Libertyville, Ill.) were tabbed 2007 All-Americans by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) on Saturday, May 26. All three players were honorable mention selections. It was the third straight honorable mention nod for Leveille and the first time Hardy and Brooks have earned All-America status.
Leveille, a junior, started all 13 games and led Syracuse in scoring (39 points) and assists (17). He also tied for the team lead with 22 goals. In the Orange’s upset of No. 2 Albany, Leveille registered a career-best seven points (5g, 2a) to help hand the Great Danes their first loss of the year.
For his career, Leveille has at least one point in 40 of 41 games and he has tallied at least one point in each of his last 39 games, the third-longest active streak in Division I at the end of the regular season. His 83 career goals and 132 career points rank in the top 20 nationally among active players.
Hardy, a sophomore, split time between attack and midfield this season. He started 12 games on the year and began the 2007 campaign with a bang, scoring a career-best five points (3g, 2a) in SU’s win against Hobart. Hardy tied Leveille for the team lead in goals (22) and added 10 assists for a total of 32 points on the season. He registered three hat tricks, including two in the Orange’s final three games.
Brooks started 12 games for SU in the midfield. The junior scored 19 goals and also dished out seven assists after missing almost all of 2006 due to injury. He tied Hardy for the team lead with four three-plus goal games and scored at least three times in consecutive contests versus Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and Binghamton. Brooks set a career high with four goals against the Hoyas and Bearcats.
SU’s three selections marks the 29th straight year the Orange has had at least three players earn All-America honors. The Orange has boasted at least two All-Americans in every season dating back to 1977.
