Four players from Illinois Wesleyan University's men's lacrosse team have been recognized as Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III All-Region 5 honorees. The announcement was made on Monday, June 17.
Seniors Gage Black and Michael Campagna were awarded first team honors. Black received the distinction at midfield for the second consecutive season after a successful senior year. He led the team with 71 points and 51 goals, achieving a No. 2 national ranking with his 14 man-up goals. Black also received his third All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin honor, making the conference's first team for the second straight year. He concluded his season with United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-America Honorable Mention honors, sharing this accolade with Campagna.
Campagna earned his first Defensemen All-Region 5 recognition, adding to a list of achievements that include USILA All-America Honorable Mention, USILA Scholar All-American, and CCIW Defensive Player of the Year. He led Titan defense with 33 caused turnovers—the second-most in a single season for IWU—and collected 51 ground balls, ranking third on the team.
Senior Trystan Seeley was named to the Midfield All-Region 5 Honorable Mention squad after scoring the team's third-most goals (34) and totaling 50 points this season. A two-time All-CCIW honoree, Seeley was selected to the conference's first team in April and named CCIW Offensive Player of the Week on April 2.
Junior Colin Tervo earned Goalie All-Region 5 Honorable Mention recognition as IWU's primary goalkeeper. Tervo played a total of 827 minutes in goal, posting a record of 13 wins against four losses this year. Leading IWU with 187 saves and a .528 save percentage, he was also named First Team All-CCIW in 2024 and recorded a career-high of 21 saves against North Central on April 10.
In total, ten student-athletes from CCIW were honored with All-Region distinctions: Illinois Wesleyan University had four individuals recognized; Elmhurst had three; Carthage College had two; North Central College had one representative on the list.
