COLUMBUS, Ohio– Ohio State men’s lacrosse goalie Mike Abeles (Sr., Westfield, N.J./Westfield) and attackman Pat Myers (Fr., Kennebunk, Maine/Kennebunk) were selected by the Great Western Lacrosse League coaches as an all-league selection and rookie of the year, respectively.
Abeles finished the 2000 season with 206 saves and a save percentage of .629. He was ranked No. 5 nationally in save percentage and No. 17 in goals-against average, allowing only 9.00 goals per game. He was named an U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association/STX Honorable Mention All-American. Abeles made his way into the Ohio State record books by becoming sixth all-time on the saves list with 528 career saves. He finished only nine saves shy of the No. 5 spot occupied by his dad, Jon Abeles (1969-71).
Myers played in all 14 games and earned six starts during the 2000 season. He finished as the Buckeyes’ leading scorer, recording 33 points off 21 goals and 12 assists.
Butler University midfielder Mike Reagan was named 2000 GWLL Player of the Year. Reagan, a Loudonville, N.Y. native, scored 40 goals and added four assists for the Bulldogs this season. He finished his career with 104 goals and 117 points. GWLL Coach of the Year honors went to Denver’s Jamie Munro, who guided the Pioneers to the team’s finest showing in 13 years with a 10-4 record.
