AWARDS
2. Tufts Dominates All-America Squads
“USA Lacrosse named its NCAA Division III men’s and women’s All-Americans on Wednesday, recognizing the top players in the country in 2025.
Fifty-two schools are represented in this year’s men’s list, though it’s Tufts that leads the charge with 10 All-American nods. Four of those 10 players are first-team All-Americans, fitting for the No. 1 team in the country as the NCAA tournament enters its quarterfinal round.
Forty-nine schools are represented in this year’s women’s list, though it’s the Jumbos again that lead the country with six All-American nods, led by first-team midfielder Madeline Delaney.”

“The new DIII NCAA Power Index (NPI) rankings this year provide an opportunity to not only rank individual teams, but also consider relative strengths of conferences. We shared a primer on the NPI and what it means in January. Last week we examined men’s conferences in 2025. This week, we explore women’s conferences.”
