Duke, the 2023 national runner-up, was the only other school to earn multiple first-team nods. Attackman Brennan O’Neill, defenseman Kenny Brower and faceoff specialist Jake Naso highlight Duke’s six All-Americans. Maryland and Virginia also scored six players on the All-American teams, while Army, Johns Hopkins, Penn State and Syracuse have five players scattered throughout the three teams and honorable mentions.
