NOVATO, Calif. – After rolling to an undefeated conference season and winning the Western Collegiate Lacrosse League (WCLL) Division I tournament, Cal Poly has been rewarded for its efforts with numerous postseason conference accolades.

The Mustangs placed six players on the 13-man first team All-WCLL squad while junior goalie Sean Pihl was named the Defensive Player of the Year and Bobby Dabrieo was named Coach of the Year.
