Robert Andrews, a lacrosse standout at Rutgers during from 1954-56, was a two-time Second Team All-American who was widely regarded as the one of the nation's top players during his career. Andrews won the William Miller Trophy in 1955 and 1956, and the Alfred Sasser Trophy in 1954, 1955 and 1956. The Coursen Award winner in 1956, Andrews played in the North-South All-Star game that season and, at the time of his graduation, held five school records, including points (174, currently ninth) and assists (111, currently tied for fourth). He captained the team to a 9-1 record in 1956, and a No. 3 final national ranking. Perhaps his greatest effort came during the 1955 season, when he scored four goals and added eight assists in a 23-19 win over national-power Syracuse, which featured future NFL All-Pro running back Jim Brown. In 1990, Andrews was inducted into the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
