ROSEMONT, Ill. – USA Lacrosse Magazine recognized 26 Big Ten women’s lacrosse student-athletes today, as the publication announced its 2025 Division I All-Americans. All-Americans were chosen by magazine staff with input from coaches and conferences across the country.

Among the 26 Big Ten honorees, eight schools are represented, with Johns Hopkins, Michigan, and Northwestern earning five honors each.
