Pierce Derkac earned his first-ever All-American selection with a third-team nod, after being named first-team All-Ivy following his senior season. He saw action in every game over his final three seasons with the Big Red and as a senior he developed into the leader of the Cornell defense at the long-stick midfielder position. A finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for accomplishments on the field, in the classroom and in the community, Derkac served as a team co-captain and was been an integral part of the Big Red's face-off unit. He finished the 2010 season ranked 31st in the nation with 4.17 ground balls per game and was second on the team in caused turnovers (21).Â
