SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Senior defenseman Jeff Ryan (Shrewsbury, Mass.) of the Wentworth men's lacrosse team capped off his outstanding career by being named All-The Commonwealth Coast Conference as an honorable mention selection.  The announcement came after a vote of the league's head coaches.

A four-year mainstay on defense for the Leopards and a tri-captain this season, Ryan played in all 14 of Wentworth's games in 2010, and, in addition to his defensive work, had a career-best 13 points, coming on three goals and five assists.  Ryan picked up a season-record 108 ground balls (7.71 per game), including a career-best 14 in a 20-3 win over Regis in his final collegiate game.  He also forced 32 turnovers and saw time at midfield as well as defense.  During his 48-game career, Ryan tallied seven goals and assisted on six others for 13 points and the 249 ground balls he picked up made him the program's all-time leader.
