	5/28/03	CONGRATULATIONS: -- To Senior Co-Captain Phil Sellery - Phil was selected as First-Team All-District as well as Second-Team All-Region! Given the overall quality of play in the Liberty District--which includes some of the best teams in Maryland, DC and Virginia--and the overall strength and quality of the players in this Region, this is a terrific accomplishment and quite an honor! Phil ended his season as Marshall's all-time leading scorer with 105 total career goals, he scored goals in 31 consecutive games played since his sophomore year, and he received GCM's 2004 LAX Award for Most Outstanding Player. Phil is going on to play lacrosse at Roanoke College! -- To Senior Co-Captain Tom Grattan - Tom is going on to play both lacrosse and football at Washington & Lee University!
