5/1/2025 3:00:00 PM

The All-Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Men's Lacrosse Teams were announced on Thursday and nine Lake Forest College players were recognized.

The Foresters' lone First Team All-NACC honoree was sophomore defenseman Liam Bradley. Usually tasked with defending the opponent's top offensive player, Bradley had seven caused turnovers and 16 ground balls while playing in 10 of the team' 11 conference contests. He also assisted on a pair of goals during his first season at the College.

Senior Conor Murphy was named Second Team All-NACC as a long-stick midfielder. Murphy recorded a team-high 26 caused turnovers and 49 ground balls in 11 league games and ranked among the top eight in the conference in both categories. He also had five assists in those contests.

Fellow senior Connor Tartaglione was received Second Team All-MWC recognition on Thursday. The short-stick defensive midfielder matched Murphy's ground ball total with 49 in conference play while racking up seven points on five goals and a pair of assists.

Junior Brendan Herbert, the Foresters' leading scorer in 2025, was also a Second Team All-NACC honoree. The attacker ranked 13th in the conference in with 2.8 points per league game and his 17 goals and 11 assists in those contests were team-high totals. Herbert finished the season with 44 points on 28 goals and 16 assists in all games.

Joining Murphy, Tartaglione, and Herbert on the second team was sophomore midfielder Macklin Thomas, who scored 16 times and added three assists during his 10 appearances against league foes. He edged out Herbert for team-high honors with 29 goals in all games this spring.

Among Lake Forest's four Honorable Mention All-NACC selections was attacker John Shannon, who was also named NACC Freshman of the Year. Despite not being in the starting lineup, he scored 16 goals and assisted on eight during conference play.

The Foresters' other three Honorable Mention All-NACC selections were seniors Trip Gaston and Jack Gillard and junior Gabe Boston. Gaston, a midfielder, racked up 19 points on nine goals and 10 assists against conference opponents and is the program's career leader in assists with 64. Gillard is a defenseman who was second on the squad with 19 turnovers and matched that number of ground balls in league play. Boston won 63.9 percent of his face-offs and scored three goals during conference contests.

Lake Forest posted an overall record of 10-8 and tied for third in the standings at 8-3 in NACC play in 2025, the program's first in the league.

The Foresters spent the previous three seasons in the Midwest Lacrosse Conference, where Murphy was a three-time First Team-All-MLC selection; Tartaglione, Gaston and Gillard achieved that status twice, and Herbert and Thomas were the last two MLC Rookies of the Year and joined the others on the first team in 2024.
