LANCASTER, PA -- The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has announced that Franklin & Marshall College All-America defenseman Chris Schellhorn (Sr., Wilton, CT/Wilton) has been named to the 2002 ECAC Division III Southern Men's Lacrosse All-Star first team.

A 2002 first-team and 2001 second team All-Centennial Conference selection and a 2002 team captain, Schellhorn was the cornerstone of a Franklin & Marshall defense which allowed 9.13 goals per game, the third best average among the seven Conference schools. Overall, he led the Diplomats to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) South Region Championship for F&M's first post-season title since claiming the Middle Atlantic Conference championship in 1990.

A 2002 United State Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Honorable Mention All-America pick, he will conclude his collegiate career on June 8 in the USILA/STX North-South All-Star Game at Johns Hopkins University.

Schellhorn's naming to the North-South game marks F&M's first inclusion since 1996 when attackmen Chris Mergadt '96, Don Gervais '96 and midfielder Jeremy Nierman '96 were named to the South team after leading the Diplomats to a 9-4 record.

The Division III contest begins at 12:00 p.m., with the Division I game following at 3:00 p.m.

Franklin & Marshall finished the year 9-7, 3-3 in Centennial Conference play. Overall, F&M's season record marked the program's second winning season since a 9-4 finish in 1996, a year in which the Diplomats placed ninth in the final national poll. The 2001 Diplomats also finished 9-7, 3-3 in Conference play.
