HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac University men’s lacrosse senior defenseman Pat Elliott (Basking Ridge, N.J.) has been named to the All-Great Western Lacrosse League Second Team, the league today announced. Elliott’s honor comes a year after former Bobcat and current Quinnipiac assistant coach Drew Maceranka was also named all-league on defense.

Elliott has anchored the Bobcats’ defense this season, picking up 29 ground balls and scoring twice on transition opportunities.

The Bobcats return to action Friday, when they face top-seeded and nationally-ranked No. 2 Notre Dame in the Great Western Lacrosse League Tournament Semifinals. The opening face-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Maple Field on the campus of Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Mich.
