On Tuesday, the USA Lacrosse Division III Women’s 2026 Preseason All-Americans were announced, honoring 89 players from across the nation.

Both Franklin & Marshall and Salisbury lead the way with five All-Americans apiece, and preseason No. 1 Middlebury boasts two All-Americans — though head coach Kate Livesay most assuredly has plenty of players ready to step in and fill the voids left by the stars of last year who graduated.

Preseason All-Americans are selected by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors with input from collegiate coaches.
