WINTHROP, Mass. – A half-dozen Saints men's lacrosse players collected All-Conference honors from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Office on Tuesday afternoon. Among the awards, three Saints were named to the All-Conference First Team, two Saints made the All-Conference Second Team, and one Saint was voted to the All-Conference Third Team.
The trio of senior
Jack Antico, and juniors
Ty Carroll and
Cole Cloney, were voted to the GNAC First Team. Antico was recognized as a First Team defender, Carroll earned his spot on the First Team as a short-stick defensive middie, and Cloney ended up on the First Team at midfield.
Sophomore
Cooper Mehlhorn and first-year
Braxton Bragg secured spots on the All-Conference Second Team at attack and midfield, respectively. Senior
Evan Decker rounds out the group of six Saints on the All-Conference teams with his Third Team selection on defense.
Antico earned his way onto the GNAC First Team for the first time in his career. The senior defender started all 18 games for Emmanuel in 2025 and was second on the team in ground balls with 47 and led the Saints with 27 caused turnovers.
Carroll also makes his first appearance on the First Team in his career, stepping into the short-stick midfield role. The junior was also the Saints primary faceoff man, as Carroll won 52.9 percent of his faceoffs this season, while leading the team with 80 ground balls.
Despite a midseason injury, Cloney made his third straight GNAC First Team in the midfield. In 15 games played this season, Cloney totaled 32 goals and 19 assists for 51 points. Cloney has at least 30 goals in all three of his seasons, and eclipsed the career 100-goal mark, becoming the fourth player in team history to reach that plateau.
Mehlhorn scores a spot on the Second Team, following up his strong rookie campaign from 2024. Mehlhorn led Emmanuel with 82 points on 42 goals and 40 assists. Among his accomplishments for the Saints, Mehlhorn set the program record for assists in a season and points in a season, while becoming the only Saints with a 40-40 season in program history.
Bragg joins Mehlhorn on the GNAC Second Team, as he led the Saints with 43 goals, which also ranks seventh in the GNAC this season. Bragg's 43 goals are the second-most for a first-year player in program history.
Decker finds a spot on the All-Conference Teams for the first time in his career, taking home a spot on the Third Team this season. Decker played in 16 games this season and finished the year with the fifth-most ground balls on the team with 35 and the second-most caused turnovers with 21.
