PERRY, N.Y. – Recent Lycoming graduate Daniel Cannon has been selected as a first alternate on the South Team for the upcoming United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s North-South Senior All-Star Game.

The 2008 All-Star game will take place on Friday, May 23 at Harvard University as part of a lacrosse triple header. The NCAA Division III game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. with the Division I/II game following at 4 p.m. The nightcap features Major League Lacrosse’s Boston Cannons against the Rochester Rattlers at 7 p.m.

Cannon, a senior from Orangeville, Ontario, earned a bid on the South squad after leading the Warriors into the conference semi-finals this season. He compiled a team-best 47 goals and 44 assists for 91 points on the year. The talented attackman also led the team in shots on goal (109) and tied for the team lead in game winning goals with three while leading the MAC in points per game (5.86) and assists per game (3.00). For his efforts, he was awarded first team All-League accolades, improving on his second team honor from 2007.

Fellow senior James Cusick was also invited to attend the team’s camp, but could not attend.

Cannon will find out on Wednesday or Thursday if he makes the travel team and will be playing in the All-Star game on Friday.
