2011 Lowe's Senior Class Award Candidates
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Syracuse senior goalie John Galloway is one of 20 candidates for the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award in the sport of men's lacrosse. The award, presented annually to the most outstanding NCAA Division I student-athletes in several sports, focuses on the "Four C's" of classroom, character, community and competition.
A 2011 team captain, Galloway is a public relations major in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. He owns a 3.56 cumulative GPA and in 2010 became just the third men's lacrosse player in school history to receive national Academic All-America honors when he was named to the Capital One Academic All-America Second Team. Galloway is also a fixture in the community. He has donated his time to the Salvation Army Christmas Bureau, the Central New York Burn Foundation, Meals on Wheels and other local philanthropic organizations.
On the field, Galloway's enters his senior season ranked eighth on the NCAA career list for best goals-against average (7.55) and tied for fifth on the NCAA all-time Division I wins list (44). His overall win-loss record stands at 44-6 in 50 career outings.
Last year, Galloway set the SU season goals-against average record leading the nation with a mark of 7.16. He was named the 2010 BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year and became the first Syracuse player to win the USILA'S Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Award as nation's most outstanding goalkeeper. In addition, Galloway became the first Orange goalie since 1925 to be named a USILA First Team All-American.
The list of 20 candidates will be narrowed down to 10 finalists in late march. Those 10 names will be placed on a ballot for nationwide voting by coaches, media and fans. The winner will be announced and recognized at the 2011 NCAA Lacrosse Championships in Baltimore, Md.
CLASS is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School. The program was launched during the 2001-02 season in response to the trend of college basketball players leaving early to turn professional. The award was conceived by sportscaster Dick Enberg and was inspired by the story of former Duke star Shane Battier, who could have been an NBA lottery pick but elected to return to college where he led the Blue Devils to the national championship and earned his degree.
Former SU standout Mike Leveille won the award in 2008. Army's Andrew Maisano was last year's winner.
