Ivy League Men's Lacrosse Tournament Tickets 

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Yale, the 2018 Ivy League Champions and the No. 1 seed in this weekend’s Men’s Lacrosse Tournament, swept the postseason awards following a vote of the League’s seven head coaches.
 
Yale senior Ben Reeves was selected as the Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, and teammate Chris Fake earned Rookie of the Year, while Andy Shay was named Coach of the Year.
 
The Ivy League Tournament, set for this weekend at Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wein Stadium on the athletic campus of Columbia will feature semifinal matchups between No. 1 Yale and No. 4 Penn at 6 p.m. and No. 2 Cornell and No. 3 Brown at 8:30 p.m. A variety of ticket offerings – including tournament passes and single sessions are on sale online at GoColumbiaLions.com/tickets 
 
Ben Reeves earns Player of the Year for the second straight season becoming just the sixth Ivy League student-athlete to earn the league’s top honor multiple times and the first since Brown’s Dylan Molloy did so in 2015 and 2016.
 
The senior is a two-time All-American and leads top-ranked Yale with 42 goals and 78 points in 14 games. Reeves owns the top Eli mark for points with 279, and his 154 career goals is eight shy of the program record established by Jon Reese (162) in 1990. Reeves, one-of-25 student-athletes to be named a Tewaaraton Award Nominee, is the only two-time finalist for the preeminent lacrosse award in collegiate lacrosse.
 
Starting all 14 games for the Bulldogs, Fake was a key component to a defense unit that ranked 11th in the nation in scoring defense (8.29). The Allentown, N.J., native picked up 24 grounds to finish fourth among team leaders and also contributed 14 caused turnovers this season. The freshman is the first Bulldog to earn Rookie of the Year honors since Reeves did so in 2015.
 
Shay was named Coach of the Year for the second straight season after leading the Bulldogs to an outright Ivy League title and a perfect 6-0 mark in league action for the first time in program history. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 1 in the latest USILA Poll, earned the top seed in the Ivy League tournament and will look for its fourth consecutive tournament title.
 
Ivy League Champion Yale topped the League with 11 All-Ivy recipients, headlined by five First Team selections. Yale’s First Team honors were senior attacker Ben Reeves, junior midfielder Jack Tigh, freshman defender Chris Fake, senior short stick midfielder Tyler Warner and senior faceoff specialist Conor Mackie. Reeves, Tigh, Fake and Mackie were unanimous selections.
 
Cornell claimed three First Team slots with sophomore attacker Jeff Teat, senior midfielder Jordan Dowiak and senior defender Jake Pulver. Teat and Pulver were unanimous selections.
 
Princeton – sophomore attacker Michael Sowers and senior midfield Austin Sims – and Penn’s sophomore defender Mark Evanchick and senior long-stick midfielder Connor Keating – also had multiple First Team All-Ivy recipients.
Brown sophomore goalie Phil Goss also reaped First-Team honors.
 
Three Harvard seniors – attacker Morgan Cheek, midfielder Joe Lang and goalie Robert Shaw – claimed Second Team honors. Dartmouth was represented on the Second Team by senior midfielder Jack Korzelius and junior defender Austin Meacham.
