Courtenay Servary distinguished himself as a formidable lacrosse goalie during his time, earning recognition as a
1974 Mens Lacrosse All-American Division II Honorable Mention. His skill only intensified the following year,
when he received 3rd Team All-American honors for his outstanding performance as a goalie. A particularly
memorable game showcased his exceptional talent: Servarys goal-tending prowess was on full display as he
stopped an impressive 25 shots from Washington & Lee University. His efforts were crucial in keeping Morgan
State in the game, despite trailing 5-2 at halftime against Washington & Lee, the nations highest-ranked team.
 
Servarys performance was instrumental in orchestrating the stunning upset victory, a David-and-Goliath moment
that reverberated throughout the lacrosse world. In recognition of his pivotal role in the triumph, Servary was
presented with the game ball. That very ball now occupies a place of honor within the hallowed halls of the US
Lacrosse Hall of Fame, forever commemorating Servarys contribution to the sport.
 
In 2018, the Hall of Fame Committee bestowed a special honor, recognizing the 1975 Team of Distinction. In
1974 and 1975, this athlete achieved the prestigious recognition of All-American status while competing for
Morgan State University. His outstanding performances on the lacrosse field garnered him this honor, as
confirmed by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). Notably, he earned this distinction
across both Division II and Division III levels.
 
His talent and dedication cemented his legacy as a significant contributor to Morgan State's lacrosse program
during that era, the nation’s first and only college lacrosse team at a historically black institution.
