Kearnan Garners USILA Scholar All-American Distinction

Recent Canisius College graduate Connor Kearnan added another honor to his already impressive awards haul this season as he was named a 2018 Scholar All-American by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) on Monday.

Joining former teammate Jeff Edwards as the only student-athletes in school history to receive the prestigious honor, Kearnan is also just one of three players from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference on the list. In order to be recognized, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher and be a significant contributor to their team both on and off the field.

A native of Courtice, Ontario, Kearnan paced a high-powered Golden Griffins attack in both assists (52) and points (83) during his senior campaign as he helped guide the program to its third MAAC Championship.

Kearnan, the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and MAAC Championship MVP, recorded multiple points in all 17 games played as he set school and league marks for assists in a season and also established the league standard for points in a campaign.

An Inside Lacrosse Media All-American Honorable Mention, Kearnan led the MAAC and ranked among the top-10 players in the nation in both assists (3.06/6th) and points (4.88/8th) per game. He finished his Canisius career among program's career leaders for assists (91/2nd), points (180/5th) and goals (89/T-10th).

In the classroom, Kearnan was a finance major, who received his undergraduate degree from Canisius in May. He was a two-time MAAC All-Academic Team selection.
