22 From Big Ten Earn USILA Lacrosse All-American Honors

ROSEMONT, Ill. – USILA announced its 2025 Special Awards and All-Americans, which includes 22 Big Ten players. All-Americans are nominated by their coach and then received votes from the All-American Committee.  
 
Ohio State’s Caleb Fyock won the Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Outstanding Goalie award and Bobby Van Buren won the William C. Schmeisser Co-Defensive Player of the Year award after each played a crucial part in the Buckeyes’ historic season, which included Big Ten regular season and tournament titles.  

In addition to Fyock and Van Buren, Maryland’s Will Schaller was awarded First Team honors.  
 
Schaller, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 22 caused turnovers and 28 ground balls on the season. He helped lead the Terrapins to back-to-back NCAA semifinals appearances and will attempt to lead the Terrapins back to the finals on Saturday, May 24 at 2:30 p.m. ET against No. 3 Syracuse. 

Maryland led all Big Ten schools with seven players awarded honors. Ohio State (6), Rutgers (2), Penn State (3), Johns Hopkins (2), Michigan (2) rounded out the honors for the Big Ten.

Both Maryland and Penn State will each look to bring home an NCAA title this weekend in Foxborough, Mass. No. 2 Maryland takes on No. 3 Syracuse, who the Terrapins beat 11-7 on Feb. 15 in College Park earlier this season. No. 5 Penn State will take on No. 1 Cornell, who the Nittany Lions beat 13-12 in overtime on March 8 in Ithica earlier this season.
