On Eve of Long Island Visit, Alum Kevin Crowley Named to College Cross All-Decade First Team
Stony Brook Hall of Famer Kevin Crowley visits Nassau Coliseum with the Philadelphia Wings on Jan. 4.https://stonybrookathletics.com/news/2019/12/24/mens-lacrosse-on-eve-of-long-island-visit-alum-kevin-crowley-named-to-college-cross-all-decade-first-team.aspxCrowley was named to the College Cross All-Decade First Team on Tuesday.
First-year Stony Brook assistant coach Mike Chanenchuk, a Maryland product and fellow midfielder, was named to the all-decade third team.
"I've met so many great people on Long Island, especially through Stony Brook, and most recently with the New York Lizards," Crowley said. "Getting to come back and see a lot of my college roommates and college teammates and all the people you meet in the community, it's special this time because it's indoor lacrosse — it's box lacrosse. I've played a couple of field lacrosse games [with the Lizards], I've played at Stony Brook since I graduated. But I've never played a box lacrosse game on Long Island. So I'm really looking forward to it.
"It's such a hotbed for lacrosse — even with the history of the New York Saints in the past, and then I remember in college we went to New York and watched the New York Titans play too. So I'm happy that lacrosse is back on Long Island. There are so many big-time lacrosse fans there and it's such a great lacrosse community. It's great that they have box lacrosse now."
"It's definitely not something you're thinking about when you're going to school for four years," Crowley said. "Going to Stony Brook was a culture shock for me having grown up in Vancouver and moving to Long Island. It was four great years. And, like I said, I met a lot of great people. To get inducted into the Hall of Fame, it wrapped up my career with a nice little bow on it."
Crowley believes the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team is in good hands with first-year head coach Anthony Gilardi as well as J.P. Brazel and Chanenchuk as deputies. Crowley and Chanenchuk played together with the MLL's Charlotte Hounds.
"It's great to see where the program is heading. I'm very excited for things to come at Stony Brook," Crowley said. "I really appreciate the communication with the alumni and getting the alumni on board with everything that is going on and keeping us updated. And, obviously, Chanenchuk is a former teammate of mine. I know what he's bringing to the table. I'm very confident in our coaching staff."
