BALTIMORE – With just over a week before the 2023 men's lacrosse season, two Syracuse University student-athletes earned mention from Inside Lacrosse on the media outlet's Preseason All-America lists.
Redshirt sophomore attackman Owen Hiltz and senior goalie Will Mark were both named to Inside Lacrosse Preseason Media All-America Honorable Mention slots for their respective positions.
Hiltz looks to return to the lineup after missing the 2022 season with an upper-body injury. In his rookie campaign (2021), Hiltz racked 29 goals with 19 assists across his 13 games played. He added three man-up goals alongside six caused turnovers in the ride. The Peterborough, Ontario product netted goals at a 34.9 percent clip in his first season with the Orange. Over the summer, Hiltz returned to the field with Team Canada Lacrosse, helping his national U21 team to a silver-medal finish at the World Lacrosse Men's U21 Championship in Limerick, Ireland.
A transfer netminder from LIU, Mark picks up his second preseason All-America Honorable Mention plaudit after being named to USA Lacrosse Magazine's list. Mark made 492 saves during his time with the Sharks, including 30 against Bryant last season for the program's single-game record. He earned USILA All-America Honorable Mention honors last season and was the two-time NEC Defensive Player of the Year (2021, 2022).
The Orange officially open the 2023 season on Saturday, Feb. 4 with the University of Vermont. Game time at the JMA Wireless Dome is set for 1 p.m. Season and single-game tickets are still available.
