COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland men's lacrosse senior Matt Dunn has been selected as one of ten finalists who excel both on and off the field for the 2015-16 Senior CLASS Award for collegiate lacrosse.
VOTE FOR MATT!
Dunn is one of the most decorated lacrosse players in the country both on and off the playing field, garnering USILA All-America honors as a junior in 2015 while being named academic all-conference three times. The Towson, Md., native is actively involved in the community and is pursuing a finance degree from the prestigious Robert H. Smith School of Business. Dunn most recently held an internship as an asset management analyst for J.P. Morgan Private Bank last summer.
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be classified as NCAA Division I seniors and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The complete list of finalists follows this release.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their athletic platforms to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The finalists were chosen by national media from the list of 20 candidates announced earlier this month. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to submit votes online at the Senior CLASS Award website through May 9. Fan votes will be combined with those of the media and Division I head coaches to determine the winners. The Senior CLASS Award recipient will be announced during the 2016 NCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championships® in Philadelphia, May 28-30.
