Long-stick defensive midfielders don’t get a ton of credit in the box score. They don’t score a lot of goals, dish out many assists or scoop up countless groundballs. But if Le Moyne’s Kevin Kohl is any indication, a team can’t win without a good one.

Kohl only has five points in his college career, but the senior has certainly made his mark on the Division II power. The Dolphins are 61-3 since Kohl entered the lineup as a true freshman and have won multiple national championships.

With Kohl leading the way, Le Moyne has led the nation in scoring defense in each of his four seasons in the lineup, never allowing more than 5.06 goals per game. In this year’s national semifinal, the Dolphins held Limestone to five goals.

Kohl’s success extends off the field as well, as the two-year team captain boasts a 3.9 grade-point average in the classroom. He expects to work in the field of financial planning upon his graduation.
