Cory Bergmann and Davis Fisher put together two of the most productive offensive campaigns in York men's lacrosse history as they each compiled a program-record 97 points on the year. This duo powered a Spartan offense which finished the season ranked 11th nationally in goals per game (16.64) while scoring the fourth-most goals (366) in the country. York also ranked ninth in total assists (215), 20th in assists per game (9.77) and 14th in man-up offense (.465).

Bergmann is just the ninth different Spartan historically to earn a USILA First Team All-American selection and becomes a two-time All-American honoree after earning an Honorable Mention nod last season. The MAC Commonwealth Midfielder of the Year compiled a team-high 59 goals to go along with 38 assists to produce his record-setting 97 point total on the season. Bergmann's 59 goals are the third-most in a single season in program history and his 38 assists rank fifth. The junior matched his career-high with a 10-point performance in an NCAA Third Round victory at No. 8 Lynchburg, which is a program record for points in an NCAA postseason contest, and led the Spartans with 19 points in three NCAA tournament games this year. Bergmann will return for his senior season with 186 points on 114 goals and 72 assists for his career.

Fisher capped off another highly-productive season with his second USILA Honorable Mention selection to become a two-time All-American honoree for his career. The MAC Commonwealth Attacker of the Year posted a career-best 46 goals to go along with 51 assists, which ranks second in program history, for a record-setting 97 points on the season. Fisher ends his career second all-time in career points with 266 on 133 goals and a program-record 153 assists. He also owns the top two single-season point totals (97 and 92) in program history and the top two single-season assist totals (60 and 51).

The trio of Bear Evans, Jeff Mueller and Erik Pearl led a Spartan defensive unit which ranked 15th in the nation in scoring defense as they allowed just 8.00 goals per game, while picking up the 13th-most ground balls (815). This group also contributed greatly to York achieving the eighth-ranked clearing percentage (.899) and ninth-best scoring margin as they out-scored opponents by an average of 8.64 goals per game.

Evans ends his career as a two-time USILA Honorable Mention All-American after previously earning the honor as a sophomore. The senior defenseman capped off his collegiate career with a career-high 71 ground balls to go along with 27 caused turnovers and a career-best four points on three goals and one assist. He picked up five or more ground balls seven times on the season, including a career-best eight ground balls against Stevenson on April 15, and caused three or more turnovers five times on the season. Evans closed his decorated collegiate career with 174 ground balls and 121 caused turnovers in two seasons at Cabrini and two with the Green and White.

Mueller earned his first USILA All-America selection by landing on the Honorable Mention list. The MAC Commonwealth Defenseman of the Year posted a career-best 22 caused turnovers and picked up 19 ground balls on the season with three games of three caused turnovers. The junior will return to the Spartans for his senior season with 59 ground balls and 36 caused turnovers.

Pearl landed his second USILA Honorable Mention All-American selection after being tabbed the MAC Commonwealth Specialist of the Year for the second-straight season. The junior picked up a career-best 37 ground balls and posted a career-high 17 caused turnovers this past season to go along with a career-high four goals. After three seasons, Pearl owns career totals of 98 ground balls, 36 caused turnovers and eight points.

The Spartans concluded the season ranked sixth in the USILA rankings for the second-straight seasons. They also capped the year with a 20-2 record which matches the program record for wins in a single season.
