He as also selected as a first-team All-American and was named the Marty Glickman Outstanding Jewish Scholastic Athlete of the Year by the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum. Seibald finished the year ranked second on the team with 27 goals, third overall with 33 points and fourth overall with 39 ground balls. He ranked seventh in the Ivy League with 1.80 goals per game and second in the conference with 0.53 man-up goals per game. A two-way player with tremendous speed and strength, he registered his 100th career point during the season, becoming just the eighth junior in Cornell history to reach the century mark. He holds the longest point scoring streak on the team, and enters the 2009 season with the longest streak in the country, having registered at least one point in the past 34 games. Seibald registered a season-high four points vs. Dartmouth with three goals and one assist. He also had three goals against Princeton. Seibald posted two-goal games vs. Army, Yale, Penn, Harvard, Syracuse, Brown and Hobart, adding an assist as well against the Quakers, the Orange and the Statesmen. Seibald became the first Cornell men’s lacrosse player to be named a finalist for the Tewaaraton Trophy, and was just the fourth second-year player ever to earn that distinction. One of the most consistent players for the Big Red, he has registered at least one point in Cornell’s last 19 games, dating back to the Big Red’s 4-3 win against Princeton on April 22, 2006. The unanimous 2006 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Seibald finished his sophomore season as a first-team All-American and a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection. He saw action in all 16 games, making 14 starts and finished the year ranked third on the team with 20 assists. He added 17 goals for a total of 37 points on the season. He had 10 multi-point games and picked up 36 ground balls, including a career-high six vs. Albany. One of his biggest goals in the 2007 season came vs. No. 18 Syracuse as he scored with only four seconds remaining to lift Cornell to a 16-15 victory over the Orange in the Carrier Dome. Seibald was also considered one of the heroes of the Big Red’s NCAA quarterfinal overtime victory against Albany as he forced a turnover to give Cornell the ball back with 10 seconds to play, setting up the game-winning goal. Seibald had a breakout rookie campaign and became just the third-ever Cornell freshman to be named an All-American, as he received second-team honors. A first-team All-Ivy selection, he finished the season ranked fifth on the team with 33 points on the strength of 19 goals and 14 assists. His 14 assists eclipsed the freshman single-season record at Cornell, surpassing Anthony Pavone (11 in 1992). Seibald was also the second-highest point-scoring freshman midfielder in the nation that season. He was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week twice, earning back-to-back honors on April 10 and April 17. Seibald had his best performance of the year vs. Syracuse when he scored three goals and added two assists for a career-high five points.
