SPARKS, Md. – Harvard Men's Lacrosse lays claim to two All-American selections in
Sam King and
Andrew O'Berry, USA Lacrosse announced today.
King was named to Second-Team All-America, while O'Berry received Honorable Mention All-America honors. The two honors are the most named for the Crimson since the 2016 team.
Sam King – Junior – Attack – Second-Team All-America
Not enough can be said about the historic season King had for the Crimson in 2024. The junior stepped up his game, leading the Crimson attack with 73 points and in the locker room as a junior captain. The 2024 Tewaaraton Award nominee earned his third career All-Ivy award this season after ranking second in the nation with 5.62 points per game and 11th in the nation in goals per game with 2.92. His 73 points were the third-most in a single season in Harvard men's lacrosse program history. King was the league leader in conference goals with 20 and second with 14 assists against Ancient Eight Foes. With 35 assists on the season King sits in 12
th, holding his own in assists per game nationally.
His talent was displayed all over the field in 2024 as King was the nation's overall stats leader in the regular season and the only player in the country to record 70-plus points, 35-plus goals, 35-plus assists and 40-plus ground balls. The Baltimore native currently sits at sixth on the Crimson career points list and will have a chance to rise up the rankings when he returns to compete with the Crimson again next Spring.
Andrew O'Berry – Senior – SSDM – Honorable Mention All-America
The All-American selection for O'Berry came after a solid 2024 campaign for the defensive midfielder. The Gonzaga High School product was key on the faceoff wing, picking up 40 ground balls and contributing four points with a goal and three assists on the offensive end. The senior captain was crucial to the Harvard clear and ride units that were both ranked nationally.
O'Berry also factored in guarding the Crimson cage, regularly playing with the team's first defensive unit. O'Berry and the Harvard defense stifled opposing offenses on a number of occasions during the 2024 season. Most notably, the defense held opposing offenses to under 13 goals eight times and under 10 goals three times. A history concentrator, O'Berry is set graduate from Harvard this Spring after a terrific three-year run with the Crimson.
