2012 USILA All-America Teams

BALTIMORE – Syracuse junior defenseman Brian Megill received second-team All-America recognition from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) on Thursday, May 24. Megill was one of four close defensemen named to the second team, joining Virginia's Matt Lovejoy, Duke's Michael Manley and Cornell's Jason Noble.

The honor is Megill's first All-America nod, and marks the fifth straight year a Syracuse defenseman has been rewarded with All-America status.

One of the 25 nominees for the Tewaaraton Award as the nation's top player, Megill was a unanimous 2012 All-BIG EAST First Team selection. He led the Orange in ground balls (62) and set a school single-season record with 37 caused turnovers. Megill also contributed three points (one goal, two assists) on offense, and posted a .468 (22-47) faceoff winning percentage.
