The Atlantic 10 Conference announced its men's lacrosse postseason awards today and Hobart took home five awards.
 
Senior David Peterkin led the way, securing a spot on the All-A10 second team and the A10 All-Academic Team. Graduate student Julian Race also earned All-Academic recognition. First-years Colman Craft and Slade Engstrom represented the Statesmen on the All-Rookie Team.
 
An attackman, Peterkin led the Hobart offense with 17 goals, 20 assists and 37 points. He also contributed 16 ground balls and five caused turnovers. Peterkin logged a season-high five points three times this season, recording three goals and two assists against Le Moyne, while posting two goals and three assists against both UAlbany and UMass. He was All-A10 first team last season. Hobart joined the A10 in 2023 and Peterkin is the first Statesman to earn All-A10 honors twice. He finished his career with 99 points on 54 goals and 45 assists.
 
An economics and business management and entrepreneurship double major, Peterkin was selected to the A10 All-Academic Team for the second year in a row. He was named an Arnold Scholar-Athlete in 2024.
 
Race graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics last year and returned to Hobart to pursue a master's in management this year. The short-stick defensive midfielder played in all 13 games this season, recording 24 ground balls and five caused turnovers. Over four seasons, he appeared in 47 games, compiling 54 ground balls, 13 caused turnovers and four assists.
 
Craft played in 11 games this season and produced a Hobart season-record 28 caused turnovers. He is first in the A10 and third in the nation in caused turnovers per game (2.55). Craft was twice named the A10 Rookie of the Week and twice appeared on the USILA National Team of the Week. He notched a season-high five caused turnovers twice this season, in his Statesmen debut against Canisius and again three weeks later at defending national champion, Cornell. Craft scooped up a season-high three ground balls five times.
 
Engstrom played in 12 games, starting eight, this year. He tied for second on the team with 15 goals and added a pair of assists for 17 points. Engstrom scored his first collegiate goal against the Big Red. He capped his debut season with a season-high five points on four goals and an assist in Hobart's win at St. Bonaventure. He logged season-highs with five ground balls and two caused turnovers against the Bonnies.
 
Hobart finished the season with a 3-10 overall record, 1-5 in the A10.
