All-SSC History: SSC Players and Coaches of the Year | All-SSC Teams

Beddow becomes the first defensive player named SSC Player of the Year. The junior from San Diego, California, piloted a Spartans defense that led the SSC in goals allowed (140) and goals allowed per game (8.75). Beddow finished 10th in SSC ground balls with 59 and 3.69 ground balls per game. He was also fifth in caused turnovers at 32, bringing in 2.00 per game. Beddow is the third UT athlete named SSC Player of the Year in men’s lacrosse and the first since 2019¹.

Flammenspeck appeared in 12 games for FSC this season, starting eight times. The Calgary, Alberta product scored 27 goals and is currently 11th in SSC goals per game (2.25). Hansen saw action in 13 games for Rollins in 2021-22 thus far. He has totaled 35 points off 12 goals and a team-high 23 assists. The Medford, New Jersey native ranks seventh in conference assists per game (1.69). Flammenspeck is the first Moccasin to be named Freshman of the Year, while Hansen is the second Tar to win the award². They are the first pair to win SSC Freshman of the Year honors in the same season.

Conference coaches select Clarke as the Coach of the Year during his first year with the Tampa men’s lacrosse program. Under his leadership, the Spartans program won its sixth SSC regular-season title and has held the No. 1 ranking in the USILA and US Lacrosse Magazine polls for the last six weeks. The undefeated Spartans rank fifth nationally in scoring margin (6.88), 10th in goals per game (15.62), and 11th in goals allowed per game (8.75).
