Meehan First Owl to Earn NEILA 1st-Team Honors
KEENE, N.H. 5/11/10 – Keene State College sophomore Griffin Meehan (Simsbury, Conn.) has become the first Owl to be named to the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) All-New England 1st-Team on Wednesday. Previously Matt Johnson (2008) and Ryan Hazelton (2006) were named to the NEILA 2nd-Team.
Meehan has provided the offensive spark for the nation’s sixth-ranked scoring offense (15.24 gpg) by leading the country in points per game (5.71), and ranking second in goals per game (3.88). A prolific scorer, Meehan established two Keene State single-season scoring records this spring for goals (66) and points (97). He is just two helpers shy of matching the single-season standard for assists (31). Meehan has found the back of the net in all 17 contests this season, including penning a hat trick in his ledger 13 times. He used a balanced scoring attack—five goals and five assists—against UMass Boston to accounted for his season-high in points (10). Meehan registered the game-winning goal twice on the campaign, including delivering the decisive strike against the Warriors in the Little East Men’s Lacrosse Championship. He was honored as the most outstanding player of the tournament as the Owls raised their third conference championship trophy.
