Forster and Lacrosse Named All Americans
Graduating senior Jack Forster (Jenkintown, Pa.) and junior midfielder Tom LaCrosse (Canandaigua, N.Y.) picked up their first national honors as USILA Honorable Mention All-Americans. Forster, who was named to the USILA North-South Game on Wednesday afternoon, posted a career year in his final season in Happy Valley. The redshirt-senior ends his time at PSU tied for second all-time in goals scored with 104 tallies behind his 41 goals this year. He notched a career-high 16 assists for a grand total of 57 points. He ranked 27th nationally in goals per game (2.41) and 35th in points per game (3.35). Forster's 57 points were the most by a Nittany Lion since 1995 (Erik Merkel, 61). Forster ended his career on a 29-game point streak dating back to March 3, 2012. A tough-nosed midfielder who has improved every year, LaCrosse showed his guts and guile by carving up opposing defenses to the tune of 23 goals, five assists and 28 points: all career highs. LaCrosse also collected 17 ground balls and caused three turnovers, proving to be one of Penn State's most aggressive players on the attacking end. LaCrosse tallied three hat tricks this season and was vital to Penn State's offense during a 10-game winning streak, scoring in the final nine victories of the season. The nine-game goal streak was the longest of his career, while also posting a point in all but two games.
