Two Blue Devils -- Matt Danowski and Aaron Fenton -- earned major awards while Mike Pressler garnered National Coach of the Year honors as the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association held its annual banquet this past weekend in Cortland, N.Y.
Danowski received the Lt. Col. J.I. Turnbull Award as the Outstanding Attackman in Division I while Fenton picked up the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award as the nation's top goalkeeper. Pressler was presented the F. Morris Touchstone Award as the Coach of the Year.
A sophomore from Farmingdale, N.Y., Danowski led the country in points with 92 on 50 goals and 42 assists as the Blue Devils paced the nation in scoring offense. He was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Trophy and also earned First Team All-America, ACC Player of the Year, All-ACC, ACC All-Tournament and NCAA All-Tournament honors this season.
A senior from Philadelphia, Pa., Fenton guided a Duke defense that allowed just 6.91 goals per game to rank second nationally. He posted season marks of 6.75 goals against average and .629 save percentage en route to receiving First Team All-America and All-ACC accolades.
Pressler, who just completed his 15th season at Duke, led the Blue Devils to an NCAA single-season record 17 wins in 2005 against just three losses. Duke also captured the ACC regular season title and advanced to the national championship game for the first time in school history.
