Men's lacrosse's Miles Schmidt picks up honorable mention All-New England honors

LEWISTON, Maine -- Bates men's lacrosse sophomore Miles Schmidt has been named honorable mention All-New England, as announced Friday by the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. 

Schmidt (Seattle) was more than just a face-off specialist this season for the Bobcats, also tallying four goals (with a shots-on-goal percentage of .765) and dishing out an assist. But it was in the face-off circle where he did the most damage, winning 210 faceoffs in 329 chances, good for a face-off percentage of .638. Schmidt's percentage was the second-best in the NESCAC -- behind only Tufts University's Parker Merril -- who is a senior. 

Unlike some of his peers, Schmidt won the faceoffs himself a lot of the time, as he led the NESCAC with 7.69 ground balls per game. 

Some of Schmidt's top performances this season included: winning 20-22 faceoffs while recording 12 ground balls in a 12-9 win over Franklin & Marshall, scoring a goal, recording 12 ground balls, and winning 20-23 faceoffs in a 14-8 win over Hamilton, and scoring a goal while recording a season-high 15 ground balls and winning a season-high 21 faceoffs in a 14-10 win over Connecticut College. Schmidt also won the majority of his faceoffs (13-22) against No. 1 nationally ranked Tufts.

The Bobcats finished the 2025 season with an overall record of 9-7 and a 4-6 mark in NESCAC play. Their nine wins this year marked a big step forward for the program as it's more than they'd tallied in the previous five seasons combined, two of which were abbreviated due to COVID-19. Bates men's lacrosse also qualified for the NESCAC tournament for the first time since 2019 and recently received the President's Cup for overall excellence at the 2025 CATSBY Awards.
