ROSEMONT, Ill. – USA Lacrosse Magazine recognized 27 Big Ten women’s lacrosse student-athletes today, as the publication announced its 2024 Division I All-Americans. All-Americans were chosen by magazine staff with input from coaches and conferences across the country.

Northwestern led the Big Ten with seven honorees, while Maryland, Michigan, and Penn State claiming five award winners each.

Michigan’s Maddie Burns and Erin O’Grady joined Northwestern’s Erin Coykendall and Izzy Scane in receiving First Team accolades.

Burns, the 2024 Big Ten Defender of the Year, paired 34 ground balls, 26 caused turnovers, and 20 draw controls while anchoring the nation’s stingiest defense. The Wolverines surrendered just 6.88 goals per game, best in the Big Ten.

An All-Big Ten First Team selection, Coykendall ranks second in the conference with 44 assists, while her 79 points are good for third. The graduate student from Spencerport, N.Y. tallied at least four points in 13 of her 17 games this season.

Scane earned her third career Big Ten Attacker of the Year honor this season after ranking fifth in the country with 70 goals, while her 87 points are good for 16th. Scane scored at least four goals in 11 of 17 games this season, including a five-goal performance in the Big Ten championship game. Her final goal on the day gave her 358 for her career, tying Charlotte North for most goals in NCAA history.
