Two from Sammamish sign for lacrosse | Prep sports news

Spencer Noonan and Colin MacIlvennie inked plans for their collegiate futures.

A pair of local products put their collegiate pledges in ink Wednesday on National Letter of Intent signing day, the first day for prep seniors to affirm commitments in sports other than football.

Skyline’s Spencer Noonan signed with Fairfield University in Connecticut.

“It’s a great honor for me to attend Fairfield and play for the Stags,” Noonan told US Lacrosse Washington in a statement. “Coach Andy Copelan has done great things there.  The size of the school and campus atmosphere are an ideal fit.”

As a junior, Noonan had a team-best 76 ground balls and has already been named twice to the All-State team, also picking up US Lacrosse High School All-American honors last season as he helped his team back to the state tournament.

Eastside Catholic standout Colin MacIlvennie, a Maple Valley resident, also committed to continue his education and lacrosse career.

Also a wide receiver on the Crusaders’ state tournament bound football team, MacIlvennie picked the University of Maryland to compete in lacrosse as a collegian and a program that is one of the most successful in the nation with 11 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

The midfielder led his team in goals with 44 last season and also posted 29 assists in leading his team to the Division I state semi-finals.
