Ten lacrosse players from Eastern Connecticut State University have been named to the Little East Conference (LEC) All-Conference teams for the spring 2018 semester.

Among the student-athletes is Michelina Pinto '19 of Groton, who majors in Biology and played the attack/midfield position.

The players named to the All-Conference men's and women's teams are considered the best student-athletes in the conference this season.

The LEC member men's and women's basketball teams commenced play in 1986-87 with double round-robin regular season and six-team championship tournament. The Little East Conference has since become a multi-sport league with eight primary members, six affiliate members and 19 championships.
