BOSTON -- University of Delaware senior goalkeeper Tom Scherr has been
named to the Lowe’s All-Senior All-American second team for men’s
lacrosse.
Scherr, a native of Owings Mills, MD (Mt. St. Joseph’s High School), was
among just 10 seniors from the NCAA Division I level selected to the
teams, which were chosen by a nationwide vote of coaches, media, and fans.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in
School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award has grown into the nation’s
premier tribute to college seniors. The award identifies personal
qualities that define a complete student-athlete, with criteria
including excellence in the classroom, character in the community, and
performance on the field.
Lowes Senior Class Award winner Mike Leveille of Syracuse highlighted
the first team and was joined by Craig Massie of Army, Paul Rabil of
Johns Hopkins, Brad Ross of Duke, and Ben Rubeor of Virginia.
Scherr, the only goalkeeper selected to the teams, was joined on the
second team by Michael Corbolotti and Danny Nathan of Cornell, Fletcher
Gregory of North Carolina, and Pat Grimm of Yale.
A co-captain and team Sportsmanship Award winner, Scherr not only earned
second team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors and was named to
the CAA All-Tournament team for the third straight year this spring, but
was a Dean’s List student and earned his degree with honors in chemical
engineering with a minor in mathematical sciences in May. He plans to
continue his education in medical school.
A three-year starter in goal for the Blue Hens, Scherr posted 576 career
saves to rank fourth all-time at UD and his career goals allowed per
game average of 8.52 is a Delaware career record. He led the Blue Hens
to a record of 9-7 in 2008 as he ranked among the Colonial Athletic
Association leaders with a 9.36 goals allowed average and posted 205
saves for a .584 percentage.
As a junior in 2007, he started all 19 games and played a pivotal role
in leading Delaware to a 13-6 record, the CAA championship, and a berth
in the NCAA national semifinals.
