The C.R.A.G. Outstanding Defensive Player Award is presented annually to a member of the lacrosse team in recognition of his outstanding defensive play.  The award recognizes the starting defense of the 1972 Statesmen--Hobart's first national championship team. The award has been endowed through the generous loyalty of the four athletes who comprised one of the most outstanding defensive units in the rich history of Hobart lacrosse: goalie Dave Creighton '72, defensemen Bob Raleigh '73, Tim Anderson '73 and Tom Gaggin '72.
