ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The SUNYAC released their 2026 men's lacrosse annual awards and All-Conference teams as voted on by the conference coaches, Wednesday afternoon, and the Oneonta men's lacrosse team had seven members named to the SUNYAC's All-Conference teams. It is the most All-Conference selections for the Red Dragons since 2002 as the team had two athletes earn first team honors while the other five received second team recognition.

Senior Jamie O'Neil (Bath, N.Y./Haverling) and junior Thomas Hnis (Smithtown, N.Y./Kings Park) garnered All-SUNYAC first team status, while seniors Aidan Greene (Smithtown, NY/Smithtown West), Daniel Macchiarella (Guilderland, N.Y./Guilderland), junior Finn Morris (Long Beach, N.Y./Long Beach), and sophomores Hunter Busch (Babylon, N.Y./Babylon) and Sean Grimes (Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y./Croton Harmon) received second team honors. It was the fourth time O'Neil has been named All-Conference in his career, joining Tyler Dunne '08 and Mike Lauer '03 as the only Red Dragons to earn All-SUNYAC four times. It is the second straight season Hnis has earned All-Conference, while it is the first time for Busch, Greene, Grimes, Macchiarella and Morris.

"Very proud of these players for their efforts," said Head Coach Pete Owens. "Ultimately what we are after is a SUNYAC championship, but we're chipping away at that goal every year. Seven All-SUNYAC selections is a new high-water mark during my tenure here and is a good sign of that progress."
