Two From Stevens Men’s Lacrosse Honored as Preseason All-Americans in Lacrosse Yearbook ‘10

HOBOKEN, N.J. (January 7, 2010) – Junior goalkeeper Dave Decker (Califon, N.J.) and junior \"!cid_image001_jpg@01CA639E\" defenseman Zach McHugh (Delray Beach, Fla.) were both honored in Lacrosse Magazine’s Yearbook ’10. Decker was named the Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year and a first-team preseason All-American, while McHugh was tabbed a preseason honorable mention All-American. Both players were preseason all-conference as well, and the Ducks were predicted to take third in the Empire 8 behind Ithaca College and Nazareth College.

Decker was a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association second-team All-American after a strong 2009 campaign. The then-sophomore went 11-6 in the cage, totaling 185 saves and a goals-against average of 8.25. His save percentage was .599 and he also picked up 23 ground balls and recorded one assist. He was named the Empire 8 Goalkeeper of the Year. As a rookie, Decker allowed 75 goals and made 128 stops. He has 275 saves, a save percentage of .622, and 48 ground balls in his two-year career. Decker’s overall record in goal is 19-12.

McHugh has been a leader of the nationally regarded Stevens defense the last two seasons. In 2009, he led the team with 35 caused turnovers and was second with 54 ground balls. McHugh was named All-Metro and second-team All-Empire 8 after his strong ‘09. As a rookie in 2008, the Delray Beach, Fla. native scooped up 29 ground balls and caused 17 turnovers. In his career he has two goals, three assists, 83 ground balls, and 52 caused turnovers.

Stevens finished the 2009 season with an overall record of 12-6 (6-2 Empire 8) and reached the Empire 8 Championship semifinals before falling to St. John Fisher College in a heartbreaker. The Ducks went on to win the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Metro/South Championship over Drew University.

Stevens will open the 2010 preseason during the last week of January and its first game will be on February 20 at Muhlenberg College.

DISMAYED THAT CITY CLERK PAUL KAIN WAS FIRED!

I am dismayed by the reported firing of Municipal Clerk Paul Kain because I don\’t understand it.

No position could be more local; yet, announcement of it is front-page news, and its resolution is taking place at the highest levels of state government – through the Office of Local Government Services, in the cabinet-level Department of Community Affairs.

We are informed by the City that Mr. Kain has been unable to work for nearly six months, but from Mr. Kain we have heard nothing. At the same time, there is no shortage of comments from those who feel the Clerk should be removed from office due to his association with previous administrations. Surely, the potential vacating and filling of such an important city position deserves very thorough deliberation.

I can recall more than one highly charged public meeting where dozens of citizens, angered by what I was saying, would have drowned out my entire testimony if Secretary Kain had not maintained eye contact, letting me know I was still being taped for the permanent record. If nothing else, the loss of Mr. Kain will represent a loss of continuity, of contact with someone who still remembers some of the things we did, and why we did them. That should encourage us to take considered, measured steps to be sure the disposition of his case is just and compassionate, and benefits the whole city.
