THROGGS NECK, NY – The NCAA has released its final Division III men's lacrosse statistics for the 2026 season, and Maritime College's Nick Uzakewicz (Hauppauge, NY) ended the season ranked second nationally in assists per game.  He averaged 3.83 assists per contest, which trailed only Noah Walsh of Centenary (LA), who handed out 5.92 assists per outing.

Uzakewicz's 69 total assists were a single-season program record and the fifth-most in the nation.  He broke his own single-game school mark with eight assists in the win at Merchant Marine on April 11, then had 10 helpers at Purchase on April 25.  That was one of just 11 double-digit assist performances across all three divisions in 2026.

This season's Skyline Offensive Player of the Year, Uzakewicz was named Honorable Mention All-American by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA).  He was also a First Team All-Skyline and First Team All-ECAC choice after helping the Privateers reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022.
