BALTIMORE, Md. - UIndy men's lacrosse players Kyle Basch and Drew Billig earned major awards from the USILA this week, as the organization announced its all-region teams following the national semifinal contests over the weekend.

Six Greyhounds joined the duo in the organization's release, as Josh Jackson (first team), Wyatt Auyer (third team), Ben Foster (third), Evan Soucy (third), Caleb Parker (honorable mention) and Nick Randgaard (honorable mention) also earned spots on the list.

Jackson and Soucy were named Academic All-District® honorees earlier on Tuesday.

Basch was selected as the South Region Defensive Player of the Year, adding to his collection of accolades this spring. The graduate student previously earned GLVC Defensive Player of the Year honors, as well as All-America First Team distinction from USA Lacrosse Magazine as a short-stick defensive middie. In his final season, Basch ranked second on the team in ground balls (73) and caused turnovers (29), while leading the Greyhounds to their fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament. 

Meanwhile, Billig was a force for the Greyhound attack, earned Offensive Player of the Year honors for the South Region. The Brighton, Mich., native ended his career as the program's all-time points leader with 263 tallies, as well as assists with 147. In addition, Billig matched Parker Kump's single-season mark with 83 points this spring and dished out a program-record 51 assists in 16 games. Like Basch, Billig earned the GLVC's top-offensive award while slotting in as a USA Lacrosse Magazine first-team All-American.

Wingate's Willie Greico was named the USILA South Region Player of the Year. UIndy and Wingate tied for the most selections included in the release with eight apiece.
