USILA Scholar All-Americans | USILA Team Academic Award

MADISON, N.J. – The Drew University men's lacrosse team has been recognized by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) for its performance both on the field and in the classroom this past season.
 
Individually, recent graduates Luke Bruther and Mike DeMayo were selected as Scholar All-Americans, becoming the fifth and sixth Rangers in team history to earn the award. In addition, Drew was honored collectively with the USILA Team Academic Award.
 
To be eligible for the Scholar All-America award, a student-athlete must be a senior in academic standing, hold at least a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average, and receive honors at the conference or national level for their success on the field.

Teams that achieved a GPA of 3.0 or higher during the 2024-25 academic year were awarded Team Academic honors. The Rangers finished with a 3.34 GPA this past season.
 
It was the second year in a row that the Rangers earned USILA academic honors at both the individual and team levels. Last season, Drew received the Team Academic Award while GJ Nazziola C'24 was named a Scholar All-American.
 
A Psychology major with a 3.65 GPA, Bruther was also named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team and the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll last month. An All-Landmark Conference Second Team selection, the midfielder finished second on the team with 43 points on 29 goals and 14 assists, helping the Rangers finish 10-7 and 6-3 in Landmark Conference play while earning the No. 3 seed and a home game in the conference championship tournament. He scored a season-high five goals in a Landmark Conference victory versus Lycoming, and he fired in the game-winning goal in overtime to give the Rangers a 10-9 win over Immaculata in the first round of the Leanos Cup. For his career, Bruther finished with 70 points on 48 goals and 22 assists.
 
DeMayo, a Business major with a 3.75 GPA, was also selected to both the CSC Academic All-District Team as well as the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll this past year. An attackman, he was named to the All-Landmark Conference Second Team as well after another tremendous season. He led the Rangers in goals (46), assists (40), and points (86), finishing 10th (tied) in school history in goals, third in assists, and third in points. For his career, DeMayo piled up 260 points on 152 goals and a school-record 108 assists, and his totals for points and goals were both third in team history. DeMayo was also selected as the Landmark Conference Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year for men's lacrosse.
