Athletic Accolades
New Paltz men's soccer standout Mario Lavacca recently received the 2003 Huntley Parker Award, which honors the Player of the Year in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC). The senior forward finished third in the conference in scoring with a career-best 14 goals and 29 points. He had six twogoal games and accounted for 41 percent of the Hawks' goal production this fall. For his efforts, Lavacca also earned a spot on the all-conference first team for the first time in his career. He had been a second team selection the last three seasons. Lavacca helped lead the Hawks to their first SUNYAC Tournament appearance since 1987. New Paltz, who went 6-8-2 overall and 4-4-1 in the SUNYAC, finished sixth in the conference. Lavacca is the first player in the history of the men's soccer program at New Paltz to earn the league's Player of the Year Award. The award is named in honor of Huntley Parker, who served as the head men's soccer coach at Brockport from 1946-1970. Congratulations! |
