BALTIMORE, Md. – The Ithaca College men's lacrosse program posted one of the finest seasons in its history in 2016; rising all the way to No. 1 in United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Coaches Poll during a 20-2 season, which included the Bombers second-ever appearance in the Quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Tournament. While IC had numerous key contributors in its amazing 2016 season, keying the squad's defensive effort was 2016 senior goalkeeper
Scott Sidnam. The since-graduated Bomber net-minder has recently been nominated for the 2016 year-end "Laxie" Award bestowed by respected lacrosse media outlet, Inside Lacrosse, for Division III Player of the Year.
