LACROSSE INSIDER

Tommy Lingner, UMBC

Fort Salonga, N.Y., goalkeeper, freshman A handful of Retrievers keyed the surprising upset of America East Conference rival and then-No. 1 Albany, but none were more important than Lingner. The 6-foot, 185-pound goalie made a season- and career-high 16 saves in Friday night’s 11-7 stunner at UMBC Stadium. Not only did Lingner help keep the Great Danes to more than eight goals below their season average (15.4 per game), but he also turned in 10 of those saves in the second half. Lingner shone brightest in the fourth quarter, when he stopped seven Albany shots. After UMBC ended what had been the longest conference winning streak in Division I at 31 games, Lingner was awaredd the America East’s Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors.
