Lycoming College

The third attackman in one of the highest-powered offenses in the history of the men's lacrosse program, Todd Lightner will take his place in the Hall of Fame alongside All-American Shawn Rosa '00 and the program's all-time leading scorer, Michael Bonnes '01. One of the founding members of the Lycoming College men's lacrosse program in 1997, Lightner left Lycoming four years later second in program history with 248 points and 121 assists behind only Rosa, who had 274 points and 139 assists, and both have stayed in those spots for nearly a quarter-century. Lightner is fourth in program history with 127 career goals and he is listed once in the top 10 in school history in goals in a season (45, 1998, 7th) and twice in assists (40, 2000, 5th; 39, 1999, 6th). Finishing in the top 10 in the league in both points and assists three times, Lightner helped the team to two 10-win seasons and a spot in the MAC Championship game in 1999. As a senior in 2000, he earned Second Team All-MAC honors after posting a career-high 77 points (seventh in school history), finishing tied for fifth in the MAC in points with teammate Bonnes, and third in the league in assists (2.67 per game), while the trio terrorized the conference with the highest scoring average in the league (16.40).
