Lt. Raymond Enners Award
The Lt. Raymond Enners Award is an award given annually to the NCAA's most outstanding player in men's college lacrosse. The award is presented by the USILA and is named after Raymond Enners, who attended the United States Military Academy, class of 1967, and served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He was killed in service on September 18, 1968. Enners received the Distinguished Service Cross, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple Heart for extraordinary heroism in combat in South Vietnam. He was a member of the 1963 All-Long Island lacrosse team, a 1967 USILA Honorable Mention All-American, and was inducted into the Suffolk County Hall of Fame in 2004.[1] The award was first given in the season immediately after his death.[2] The Lt. Ray Enners Award, another award named after Lt. Enners, is presented annually by the Suffolk County Coaches Association to the outstanding high school player in Suffolk County, New York. Frank Urso is the only athlete who has won both awards (1975 and 1972).
