PLEASANTVILLE, NY - Just a little over 24-hours away from the opening face off of the Northeast-10 (NE10) quarterfinal event and Pace Men's Lacrosse enters the tournament with nine all-conference selections, the conference announced on Friday.

Daniel Zabbia, Will Danowski, Chris Butler, James Mantione, Declan Landers, Colin Reese, Branden Tello, Matt Baldino, and Dennis Hodge-Boccanfuso represent the Blue and Gold on their respective selections.

Senior attack, Zabbia, is the lone player in the First Team All-NE10 list as he leads the squad with 40 points, on 33 goals and seven assists, while tallying three game winners, 21 ground balls, and .550 shot on goal percentage. The Dix Hills, NY native is fifth in the conference with 2.75 goals per game and ninth with 3.33 points per game. Last season he was voted to the Second Team list of the conference release and has improved in his final season to first.

Danowski, Butler and Mantione is the Setter trio that was selected to Second Team All-NE10. Danowski, who just joined the Setters this season from Stony Brook, has provided a positive impact since his arrival with 24 points from 16 goals and eight assists. He also posted a career high of six goals in the NE10 win over American International on Apr. 2. Butler has been the forefront of Pace's defense this season as he leads the team with 23 caused turnovers and collected 27 ground balls in the process; Butler also recorded an assist. The final Setter in second team is Mantione who also played his role on the defensive end with 13 caused turnovers and is third on the team with 36 ground balls.

Third Team All-NE10 sits Landers, Reese, and Tello. Landers currently is second on the team with 29 goals and eight assists, good for 37 points, while Reese is just a few points behind with 23 on 10 goals and 13 assists. Tello, a consistent starter on the defensive side of the Blue and Gold, posts seven caused turnovers with nine ground balls.

The rookie duo of Baldino and Hodge-Boccanfuso receive All-Rookie notions for their collegiate debut performances. Baldino is fourth on the team with 14 goals but is third in points with 26 when he recorded 12 helpers. Hodge-Boccanfuso made an impressive trek inside the face off circle this season with a .561 (88-157) face off percentage with 46 ground balls, leads all Setters in that category, and even caged four goals and posted one assist.
