Waterbury, CT – The Post University men's lacrosse team set a program record with four players named to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) All-Conference team. Dylan Heald and Braedan Lockyer were named to the first team, while Peter Naboka and Brendan Kelleher were named to the second team.

For Lockyer, a midfielder, it was the second time he made the All-CACC team, and first time he made the First Team. This season, Lockyer ranks second in goals with 41 and fourth in points with 58. This season, he has had eight games where he scored at least three goals. In a 21-6 win over Caldwell, Lockyer had a career-high nine points with five goals and four assists. In loss to Wilmington on April 26, he tied his season-high with five goals. In a 24-7 win over Alderson Broaddus on February 25, he had three goals and three assists. Lockyer becomes the first Eagles to make the All-CACC team twice.

Heald makes his first appearance on the All-CACC first team at attack. This season, Heald has 40 goals, which is third in the CACC, while being tied for second in points with 61. This season, Heald had eight games where he scored at least three goals, including a six-goal two assist performance against D'Youville in a 19-9 win on February 19. Against Molloy, he scored five goals with two assists on March 21. In the win over Caldwell, he had four goals and two assists. Heald was also named CACC Player of the Week twice.

Naboka, a defender, made the All-CACC team for the first time. In 14 games, Naboka had 28 groundballs and 18 caused turnovers, which was second on the team. Naboka had a season-high of four groundballs in a 13-6 win over AIC on March 11. He matched that mark with four in the win over Caldwell to go with two caused turnovers. In a big win over Chestnut Hill on April 22, Naboka had three goals and four caused turnovers in an 11-9 victory. Twice this season, Naboka was named CACC Defensive Player of the Week.

Kelleher made the team as a short-stick defensive midfielder. In nine games this season, Kelleher had four assists, 20 groundballs and five caused turnovers. He had two performances with five groundballs, both against Dominican in an 18-7 win on April 5 and in a 12-10 win on May 1, which was the first CACC Tournament win in Post University men's lacrosse history.

The four All-CACC members for the Eagles surpasses the 2018 team, which had three members.
