MILWAUKEE – Marquette University men's lacrosse defenseman Mason Woodward was named an honorable mention all-America selection by both Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse Magazine.
Woodward was an unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team selection at close defense after another standout season during which he pushed his name into the conversation as the best defenseman in the country. He was named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List on Feb. 10, is the program's second two-time USILA All-American and will likely become the squad's first three-time USILA selection later this month.
The native of Towson, Maryland has led the Golden Eagles in caused turnovers in each of his four campaigns and is the program's all-time leader in ground balls per game (4.71 per contest). Woodward was also an All-BIG EAST First Team selection during his first conference season in 2021 and was a second team choice last spring.
He posted a career-high 12 ground balls at Utah on Feb. 11 and ended the regular season first in NCAA Division I in ground balls per game (5.00) among close defensemen. Overall, he's 41st nationally in ground balls per game and, in total, has posted a career-high seven points (five goals, two assists), 70 ground balls and forced 16 turnovers this season. Marquette all-time ground ball leader Liam Byrnes (218) is just six ground balls ahead of Woodward (212).
