Dec. 30, 2005 AMHERST, Mass. - UMass senior attacker Sean Morris (Marshfield, Mass.) and defender Jack Reid (Glastonbury, Conn.) were named Inside Lacrosse/Face-Off Yearbook's Preseason First Team All-Americans. UMass was just one of three schools (Duke, Maryland) to have multiple players on the first team.

He was a USILA Second Team All-American led UMass and the ECAC in scoring with 69 points. He tied for the team and ECAC lead in goals with 44, with fellow attacker Zywicki.

He was named the ECAC Offensive Player of the Week four times in addition to being named the conference preseason Offensive Player of the Year.

He was an Honorable Mention All-American as a sophomore in 2004. A member of the ECAC First Team, he led UMass in groundballs (57) and caused turnovers (33). He aided a UMass defense which allowed less than 10 goals on 10 occasions and ranked among the national leaders in goals against average for much of the season.
