A Step Forward

I was very impressed with Andrew Kelleher, the Senior attackman from UVM this season. From the look of things, so too was America East and its fans. In fact, Andrew was just recognized as the innguaral Fans' Choice Player of the year. A great accomplishment.

I would have bet the house that a player from Albany or UMBC would have snaged the award. Vermont and Kelleher were nominated to the America East weekly awards only once (3/3/09), where as the Albany and UMBC players were nominated regularly. Again, a great accomplishment.

I look at Andrews selection as a big step forward for the UVM lacrosse program. I bet Coach Curtis and his assistants will use Andrew's development as an example of where the program is headed on the recruiting trail this off season. This award is also the product of good coaching from Coach Curtis and I'm excited to see how Andrew's award translates into success for the program going forward.
