Five Mocs Honored with All-SSC Accolades; Corona Named Freshman of the Year

MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Florida Southern College men's lacrosse program picked up five All-Conference honors when the Sunshine State Conference announced its annual awards Tuesday afternoon (April 22). Freshman Carson Corona earned SSC Freshman of the Year honors, first for FSC since 2022 when Matt Flammenspeck earned the award.
 
Junior Jacob Czyz was FSC's lone First Team selection at faceoff while sophomore Maddux Walton and Corona appeared on the Second Team. FSC's final two honorees, seniors Brydon Robichaud and Mason McQuiggin, were chosen for the Third Team. Corona, a Syracuse, N.Y. native, is the first freshman defenseman to earn All-SSC Second Team or higher since 2019. He ranks fifth in SSC caused turnovers (22) and caused turnovers per game (1.57), 10th in ground balls (40), and 13th in ground balls per game (2.86).
