PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Following a stellar debut season for the Castleton University men's lacrosse program, Spartan goalie Christopher Dindino has been named the Little East Conference's Goalie of the Year, the league announced on Thursday.
 
Along with Goalie of the Year honors, Dindino also landed First Team All-Conference accolades. He was a three-time LEC Goalie of the Week this season and was named the USILA Goalie of the Week one time—the first Castleton goalie to ever land on the nation-wide weekly awards list. Dindino becomes the first Castleton goalie since Peter Latulippe in 2014. He is also Castleton's first major award winner and first All-Conference honoree since the move to the Little East Conference in 2019.
 
Dindino finished the season ranking second in the LEC and 20th nationally in saves per game with 15.4. He led the league in save percentage at 55.4 percent, good for top-60 nationally. His 261 saves this year were third-most in a single season in Castleton history, and he already ranks eighth on the all-time saves list for a career in the program. On two occasions, Dindino stopped 29 shots in a single game this season—both marks ranking him in a tie for fifth-most saves in a single game in Division III this year. He had double-digit save totals in 13 out of 17 games this season and held opponents to five goals or less on three occasions.
