Hall of Fame
Pannell became just the fourth Cornell player ever to be named a four-time All-American, earning first-team accolades in each of his final three seasons after a third-team selection in 2009. He punctuated one of the greatest college lacrosse careers of all-time by winning the 2013 Tewaaraton Trophy. The award was the final one in a long list for Pannell, who was a two-time Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award winner (2011, 2013) as the USILA Outstanding Player of the Year, and a two-time Jack Turnbull Award winner (2010, 2011) as the USILA Attackman of the Year. Pannell was a three-time Ivy League Player of the Year selection (2013; Unanimous selection in 2010 & 2011) after being named the 2009 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, becoming just the fourth player in the history of Division I college lacrosse to be named conference player of the year three times during their career. He was also just the third player in the history of the Ivy League to be named first-team All-Ivy four times (2009; Unanimous selection in 2010, 2011, 2013). Additionally, Pannell was a three-time Ivy League All-Tournament Team selection, earning the Ivy Tournament Most Outstanding Player award in 2011. The 2011 Ithaca Journal Male Athlete of the Year, he was also Cornell’s first-ever ESPY award nominee (Best Collegiate Athlete) that same season. Pannell also shared the Charles H. Moore Outstanding Senior Varsity Athlete Award in 2013. The all-time NCAA Division I career points leader (354), Pannell proved to be one of the most consistent players in the country, having registered at least one point in all 72 games of his career. He finished his career ranked first all-time in Cornell history with 204 career assists, a mark that ranked second all-time in Ivy League history and third all-time in NCAA history. Likewise, his 150 career goals were good for second in Big Red and fourth in Ivy League history. He capped his senior season by ranking third in the nation in points per game (5.67), third overall in assists per game (3.06), and 14th overall in goals per game (2.61). Pannell finished the 2013 campaign with 102 points, just three off the school record set by Mike French in 1976. Pannell's 102 points this season were the most ever for a Tewaaraton Award winner. Pannell finished his career ranked in the top 10 of Cornell’s single season rankings as well. He graduated holding the fourth (55 in 2013), fifth (51 in 2010), seventh (47 in 2011) and 10th (42 in 2009) spots on the single-season assist list, as well as the second (102 in 2013), eighth (89 in 2011) and 10th (80 in 2010) spots in the single-season points list. Pannell’s career-high 47 goals in 2013 was good for 10th overall in the Cornell single-season list.
