Meehan Named 2010 NCAA Division III Statistical Champion for Points Per Game

KEENE, N.H. 7/14/2010 – Keene State College sophomore Griffin Meehan (Simsbury, Conn.) is the 2010 NCAA Division III statistical champion for points per game as announced by the NCAA Statistics Department.

 “Griffin is a real special player,” said KSC Head Coach Mark Theriault. “This is both great for him as an individual and our lacrosse program as a whole.”

Meehan, who was earlier in the spring was named the LEC’s offensive player of the year and USILA Honorable Mention All-American, provided the offensive spark for the nation’s sixth-ranked scoring offense (15.05 gpg.) by leading the country in points per game (5.53), and ranking second in goals per game (3.63).

A prolific scorer, Meehan established three Keene State single-season scoring records this spring for goals (69), assists (36) and points (105). Meehan found the back of the net in all of KSC’s 19 contests this season, scoring at least three goals 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.
