LANCASTER, PA - Franklin & Marshall College midfielder Jon Singer (Sr., Reisterstown, MD/Boy's Latin) has been selected a pre-season third team All-American in the 2003 edition of Inside Lacrosse: Face-Off Magazine Yearbook. A 2001 Honorable Mention and 2002 Second Team All-Centennial Conference selection, 2002 marked the second year Singer led the Diplomats in goals scored as he recorded 27 as a sophomore and 24 last year. In addition, he chipped in 10 assists for 34 points to raise his career numbers to 66-25-91, 34 goals short of surpassing Paul Friedman '75 (99) for eighth in goals scored in F&M program history. A 2001 Face-Off Magazine honorable mention pre-season All-America selection, Singer led the Diplomats to the 2002 Eastern College Athletic Conference South Region Championship and a 9-7 record, 3-3 in Centennial Conference (CC) play. In the ECAC South Region title game, Franklin & Marshall routed the University of Scranton 18-3 as the Diplomats advanced to the post-season for the second time since a 15-9 loss in the 1995 NCAA Quarterfinals. In addition, it marked the second time in the 45-year history of the sport at Franklin & Marshall College that the men's lacrosse program earned a bid to the ECAC playoffs and the first post-season championship since claiming the Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1990. In the magazine's pre-season team selections, Franklin & Marshall College ranks 25th in the 2003 Inside Lacrosse Division III men's lacrosse pre-season poll. Overall, F&M is one of three Centennial Conference teams ranked in the Top 25 as Gettysburg is second and CC Championship runner-up Washington is third. Swarthmore (34) and Dickinson (53) round out the nine-team conference's representation in the national poll as five teams are ranked. Historically, the men's lacrosse program is one of the strongest in NCAA Division III as F&M has registered nine conference championships in the last thirty years with a 46-year record of 302-297.
