Gagne Selected to Play in NEISL All-Star Game

Lasell's Zach Gagne (Somerset, Mass.) of the men's soccer team was selected to play in the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League All-Star Game on May 9th at Clark University.  Gagne is one of 35 NCAA Division III players selected to play in the All-Star competition.

Only three GNAC participants were selected to play, and nine total forwards, Gagne being one of them.  Players are selected by the vote of head men's soccer coaches.

Gagne has been an All-Conference selection for all four years as a Lasell athlete. Gagne was named to the NAC All Conference 2nd team as a freshman in 2005, and then the 1st team in 2006, along with being the Player of the Week twice. Gagne was once again recognized in 2007 and 2008 as a first team All-Conference player in the GNAC, and has also been selected as Player of the Week twice in the 2008 season.

This season, Gagne led the team in points with 31, and was second on the team in goals scored (12). His presence on the field is immense as he can not only create his own offense, but he is a great distributer of the ball, leading the Lasers with 7 assists this season. He finished ranked 4th in the GNAC in total points and 5th in points per game (1.72). He is 5th in goals and goals per game (.67), and is fourth overall in assists (7).

Gagne is the men's soccer team's all time leading scorer at Lasell College with 121 total points. He has a career 8 game winning goals and a .573 shots on goal percentage. Gagne has been a four year starter for the Lasers, and a three year captain, beginning his sophomore year. During his time at Lasell, the Lasers have made appearances in the NCAA tournament and ECAC post season tournament. Gagne was also selected to the All-Tournament team in 2008 and was honored as the Lasell candidate for the All-Sportsmanship team.
