Colin Greening (Unanimous) and Brendon Nash on the 1st team, Blake Gallagher on the 2nd, Riley Nash and Ben Scrivens on the 3rd.

Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, remember that's just for Ivy games. Having said that, that's about how I'd rank em overall anyway ;)

It's interesting that there are no seniors on the first team and only 3/20 overall.

Congratulations to Harvard for having the least players named.

I'll go with Jim's interpretation since it doesn't make me illiterate.

[quote Jim Hyla]It's interesting that there are no seniors on the first team and only 3/20 overall.[/quote]That's really wonderful for the six teams (though looking at the composition, mainly for Cornell, Dartmouth, Yale and Princeton).  It's been a pretty good year for Ivy teams nationally (Cornell, Yale, Princeton all on the tournament bubble or better) and next year could be stronger.  

Gaudet is still a dick though.

Carthago delenda est.

Next year 6 of 7 First Team, including the POTY, will be seniors.  As Greening was the only unanimous selection, I wonder how close he was to winning POTY.

They're the ones who decided not to join the NCAA's 360,000 who went pro in something other than sports.

Other stats: Two from Connecticut and one (POTY Zalemba) from NJ on the first team. Three Jersey boys total on the teams and 3 from BC (all Cornell) on the teams.

Too bad about Greening being the only unanimous pick but not POTY. But why argue with All-Ivy teams where Cornell has more selections (5) than anyone else and Harvard has no more than Brown (2 each).
