When Matt Lynch entered the Goucher College men’s lacrosse program from LaSalle College High School outside of Philadelphia in 2009, he was entering a program on the rise but had not reached the top of the Landmark Conference.

By the time Lynch left campus in 2012, he contributed to Goucher winning a pair of Landmark Conference titles (while making the conference championship match three times), win their first NCAA Tournament match in program history, and collect a combined 53 victories over four seasons.

On the field, Lynch excelled from the first day he stepped on campus. For his career, the midfielder scored 117 goals, dished out 103 assists, collected 198 ground balls and caused 35 turnovers. He still holds the program record for assists in a season, dishing out 39 during the historic 2012 season. He also still sits second overall in career assists with 103 and fourth in total points with 220.

For his on-field accolades, Lynch was honored several times over not only in the Landmark Conference but nationally. He was named to the All-Landmark Conference First Team an unprecedented three times (2010, 2011, 2012), was a USILA All-American Honorable Mention selection twice (2010, 2011), and a USILA Third Team All-American selection in 2012.

For his efforts, Lynch was named one of the best men’s lacrosse players at his position in the short history of the Landmark Conference, as he was named to the Conference’s All-Decade team for the sport last year.

Off-the-field, Lynch had just as impressive of a resume, earning his bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business Management while posting a grade point average of 3.59. With such a solid GPA, Lynch was named to the national CoSIDA Academic All-American Third Team after his senior campaign in 2012, while also earning CoSIDA Academic All-District honors the same season.
