BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott men's lacrosse senior goalkeeper Cameron Bell (Falmouth, Maine) has been named an Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-American, as selected by Inside Lacrosse's staff and longtime contributors. Teammate and junior attackman Colin Bannon (Westport, Conn.) also received honorable mention accolades along with 42 other NCAA Division III student-athletes from across the country.
Bell, who claimed the Commonwealth Coast Conference's (CCC) Defensive Player of the Year award for the second straight season last spring, turned in a solid junior season in 2015 with a 16-4 record in 20 starts alongside a 9.56 goals against average (GAA). Bell also sported a .560 save percentage with a career-high 209 saves in the cage.
Going into the 2016 season, Bell has 43 career wins which sits five shy of tying former three-time USILA All-American and current Endicott head coach Eric Hagarty '10 for the program's all-time record.

Additionally, Bannon scored three or more goals in nine games, which included a stretch of 14 goals scored across a four-game span from March 4-13 (3.5 per game).
Endicott posted a 16-4 overall record and went undefeated in conference play (8-0) in 2015 en route to claiming its eighth CCC title in program history with a 13-12 win over Western New England.
