This Oakmont lacrosse player earned TGN honors for contributions to league-winning season

Last week, The Gardner News put out a vote to let readers have a say in the winner of The Gardner News Lacrosse Player of the Year. The results of the poll, along with votes by the staff, were combined to decide the winner.

Earning 4,253 votes on the poll, Silas Roy of Oakmont boys' lacrosse is TGN Lacrosse Player of the Year. His support from readers along with votes from staff proved the freshman's success and contributions this season.

Roy stepped up to help turn around the Spartans' lacrosse program. Last season, the team won just three games.

"He was critical in all aspects of the game for the revamped Spartans that went 11-8," Oakmont coach Sean Nally said in his nomination of Roy for the honor.

Roy helped lead Oakmont to winning the Mid-Wach B league title as well.

His biggest contributions included his 43 caused turnovers, making him first on the team in the category, as well as co-leading the team in ground balls (57). He added two goals and an assist and was named a Mid-Wach B First Team All-Star.

After finishing up his freshman year at Oakmont, Roy still has three more seasons to continue to make his mark on the field and build up the Spartans lacrosse program.
