Seideman to Coach South Team in USILA Senior All-Star Game

The College of Wooster's Eric Seideman has been announced as the head coach of the NCAA Div. III United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's South Team for the upcoming Senior All-Star Game, sponsored by Blatant Lacrosse.

Seideman just completed his second season leading the Fighting Scots' program. Wooster enjoyed its best season in Seideman's first year at the helm, as the Scots set new program records for wins (13) and consecutive wins (11). Casey Steffen was named an All-American after breaking the NCAA Div. III single-season record with 5.06 caused turnovers per game, and the program led the nation by holding the opposition to a 62.7 clearing percentage. Additionally, Wooster's 2023 team had top-three national rankings in groundballs (45.00) and caused turnovers (14.88) per game. Wooster excelled just as much in the classroom, with junior Shane Epstein-Petrullo earning third-team College Sports Communicators Academic All-America® honors.

This year, Seideman guided Wooster to a spot in the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time since 2019. The Scots went 11-7, which included a fourth-place mark of 5-3 within the NCAC. Wooster's 24 wins are the most in a two-year stretch in program history and it is just the second time the Scots have posted consecutive double-digit win totals.

At present, Wooster's 67.2 opponent clearing percentage rates fourth within Div. III and the Scots' 13.39 caused turnovers per game is the 10th-best total within Div. III.

The USILA All-Star game will be held on Friday, May 24 at 4 p.m. at Widener University in Pennsylvania. The USILA will announce rosters for the all-star game in the coming weeks.
