Stuart McCord
- Class:
- Redshirt Freshman
A tough, hard-nosed defender/midfielder for the soccer team and a high scoring middie for the lacrosse team, Stu was one of the finest two-sport athletes to play for the Chiefs during the 1980[apos]s. His accomplishments in each sport were worth of Hall of Fame consideration on their own merits.
In soccer, Stu ranked fourth all-time in goals scored (12) and first in assists (14). His 38 points ranked him fourth. He was named to the All-New England team as a senior. A co-captain as a senior and a tri-captain as a junior, he played on the Chiefs ECAC Division II championship team as a freshman. Stu was one of the mainstays of coach [quote]Duke[quote] Diaz[apos]s teams that reached the zenith (1980-83) of the soccer program[apos]s success. Those four teams compiled a combined record of 33-25-12 including an 11-4-2 mark in 1981.
Possibly the best midfielder to ever play lacrosse at ULowell, Stu was co-MVP as a freshman after scoring 27 goals and 10 assists for coach Grant Carrow. Playing under Steve Connolly the next year, he was named All-Colonial League after tallying 25 goals and 20 assists.
He was named team MVP, All-Colonial League and All-New England as a junior after scoring 19 goals and 16 assists. He became a three-time All-Colonial League honoree and two-time All-New England selection as a senior after scoring 28 goals and 21 assists.
