OVERLAND PARK, Kans. – Cornell senior All-American defenseman Jason Noble has been named one of 10 finalists for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.

Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote on the Senior CLASS Award website or on the Senior CLASS Award Facebook fan page through May 13. Fan votes will be combined with media and Division I head coaches' votes to determine the winner.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

A young man of great character, Noble leads the No. 2 Big Red men's lacrosse team as one of the team's four co-captains. He is an outstanding student in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management program and is involved in numerous community service projects. A brother in Alpha Tau Omega, Noble is also a member of the prestigious Sphinx Head Honor Society, as well as serving as the men's lacrosse team's representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2013 NCAA Lacrosse Championships in Philadelphia May 25-27.
