It was a spring season to remember for Lasell's athletic programs.

The men’s volleyball and men’s lacrosse teams reached the GNAC championship game, baseball hosted a first-round playoff game, and women’s lacrosse made a late-season run to secure a postseason berth.

The men’s volleyball team earned wins over top-ranked Springfield and No. 5 Wentworth, while earning a No. 15 ranking in the National Volleyball Association/American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III Coaches poll. The victory over Springfield was the first in program history and the first time that the team has defeated the No. 1-ranked squad in the country.

Jordan Shinaut '25 became the first student-athlete in program history to earn All-American honors, as he was named to the NVA/AVCA honorable mention team. Brenden Joyce '23, Jesus Garcia '23, and Shinaut became the first-ever student-athletes with the men's volleyball program to earn AVCA All-Northeast Region team honors, while Shinaut also took home the AVCA's Northeast Region Newcomer of the Year accolade.
