Josh Byrne can chalk up another kudo for his first year in NCAA Div. 1 lacrosse. The 21-year-old New Westminster native was named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association’s first team, after a standout debut with the Hofstra University Pride.

Byrne, who came to Hofstra from nearby Nassau Community College last fall, earned his first All-CAA honor after leading the Pride with 30 goals, 14 assists and 44 points while starting all 14 games.

The first pick overall in the Western Lacrosse Association junior draft last February, Byrne recorded five or more points in five games this season, including five goals against Princeton and four goals and two assists at North Carolina. He is currently ranked second in the CAA in goals and points.
