BALTIMORE, June 10, 2015 — US Lacrosse has named the high school girls’ lacrosse players selected as US Lacrosse High School All-Americans and All-Academic Team members. Players were selected through US Lacrosse’s 67 chapters nationwide and recognized for their efforts on and off the field.
450 players were selected as first-team and honorable mention All-Americans and over 2,700 players were recognized for excellence in the classroom as All-Academic honorees.
