MIDLAND, MICH. — The Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) announced its 2026 Men's Lacrosse All-Conference teams and postseason awards on Wednesday (April 29), with Northwood collecting multiple top honors following a standout campaign.
Sophomore midfielder Andrew Rogers headlined the accolades as the G-MAC Offensive Player of the Year, while Head Coach Jacob Fredal was named Coach of the Year after guiding the Timberwolves to a second-place regular season finish, 11 wins, and the most successful season in program history. Both honors mark the first of their kind for a player and coach in Northwood men's lacrosse history.
ALL-CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM
Northwood placed three student-athletes on the All-G-MAC First Team, led by Rogers, along with sophomores Ryder Mulvey and Drew Lockwood.
