Honors:Three drafted into MLL

Lehigh men’s lacrosse seniors Matt Poillon, Dan Taylor and Lukas Mikelinich have been selected in the 2015 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft, meaning they will have the opportunity to continue their careers as professionals.

The first goaltender selected, Poillon was drafted 28th overall by the New York Lizards. Taylor was picked 38th by the Denver Outlaws and Mikelinich was selected 58th by the Lizards. All three have been named All-Patriot League honorees at Lehigh while Poillon is a three-time All-American and Taylor a 2014 All-American.

Poillon, Taylor and Mikelinich become the fifth, sixth and seventh Mountain Hawks to be selected in the MLL Draft in the last three seasons. The three draft picks were tied for second most selections overall (only Syracuse had more) and tied a school record set in 2013. Ty Souders was selected 22nd overall by the Outlaws last season while Dante Fantoni, Noah Molnar and David DiMaria were selected in 2013.

Poillon has developed into one of the best goaltenders in the country. He owns a dominant 37-11 career record with a 7.25 GAA and .589 save percentage. Taylor emerged in 2014 as one of the nation's top attackmen, and Mikelinich has played an integral role in the emergence of Lehigh as one of the nation’s elite defensive units.
