WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University men's lacrosse player Matt Dente (Reading, Mass./Reading) has been voted to the Capital One Academic All-District 1 At-Large team for Division II, by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The men's at-large program includes student-athletes competing in fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, water polo and wresting. For Division II, District 1 encompasses the Northeast-10, the East Coast Conference and the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.

Dente led the men's lacrosse team in both goals (21) and points (27) during his senior season, setting career-highs in both. He had four games with at least three goals scored, including a career-high four in a win over Southern New Hampshire on April 7.

Dente also put up big numbers in the classroom with a 3.82 GPA this year while majoring in corporate finance and accounting with a minor in actuarial studies. He was named to the Northeast-10 All-Academic team last season.

Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams program since 2011. The Division II and III Academic All-America programs are financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects of the program.
