Czyz Named USILA First Team All-South Region

LAKELAND, Fla. – Junior Jacob Czyz of the Florida Southern College men's lacrosse program was named First Team All-South Region by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). He becomes just the third Moccasin all-time to earn USILA All-South Region First Team honors joining former Moccasins Jay Minor (2023) and Nick Shannon (2024).
 
Czyz appeared in 12 of the Mocs' 14 games this season while ranking in the top-10 nationally in both face-off winning percentage (7^th/.678) and ground balls per game (8^th/7.83). He scored a career-high eight goals on the season, surpassing his previous career total of six goals coming into 2025. He tallied a career-best two goals on the road at Lynn that capped off a streak of four-straight games in which he had a goal. He also scored his first career game-winning goal versus Colorado Mesa in a 15-8 victory. He finished with double-digit ground balls in three contests with a season-best 14 coming versus Wingate. He won double-digit face offs in every game in which he appeared with a season-best 19 wins coming versus Wingate as he went 19-of-25 (.760) versus the Bulldogs. His highest winning percentage came at Belmont Abbey where he went 17-of-20 (.850).
 
The Baldwinsville, N.Y. native is now a three-time USILA All-South Region honoree after being named honorable mention as a freshman and sophomore. He will look to earn his first All-America honor later this week as the 2025 USILA All-America teams will be announced Thursday.
