Guyette was the backbone to the Orange's season, holding opponents to a 7.9 goals-against average along with a .464 save percentage against the third-toughest schedule in the nation. Guyette played a career-high 1182:27 minutes this season and posted nine performances with a save percentage north of .500. She was named a USA Lacrosse Magazine All-America Honorable Mention and the ACC Goalkeeper of the Year for her efforts. This is the second time Guyette has earned All-Region honors, a Second Team honoree a year ago.
Guzik was the driving force on offense this season, scoring a team high 44 goals to go with 10 assists. She was named a First Team All-ACC honoree. In her first season playing attack, Guzik scored in 18 of 20 contests, including eight goals with three goals or more. This is the sophomore's first career All-Region award.
Lahah set the Syracuse single-season caused turnovers record, accumulating 57 to shatter the previous record of 45, which was set by Katie Goodale in 2024. She logged at least one caused turnover in each of the final 19 games and picked up a total of 52 ground balls. She was part of a defensive unit that held foes to just 8.1 goals per game this season, a top-10 mark in the nation. The defense also amassed 11.9 caused turnovers per game, the sixth most in the country. This is Lahah's first All-Region Award.
Muchnick, a senior captain, earned First Team honors after posting 25 goals to go with 18 ground balls and a career-high 11 caused turnovers. Muchnick was dominant when it mattered most, scoring nine goals across the ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament. She was named a Second Team All-ACC honoree. This marks back-to-back First Team selections for Muchnick.
Fellow captain, Vandiver, finished her career as the program's all-time leader in caused turnovers with 122. A member of a defense that surrendered just 8.1 goals per game, a top-10 mark nationally, she helped a unit that also generated 11.9 caused turnovers per game, ranking sixth in the country. This is Vandiver's second All-Region award, her first as a First Team honoree.
Benoit was also a part of the strong Orange backline, posting 19 caused turnovers and 28 ground balls. She was named a Third Team All-ACC honoree. This is Benoit's second consecutive year as a Second Team award winner.
Trinkaus finished second on the team in goals with 31. She turned it on in the NCAA Tournament, scoring seven goals across two games to help pace the Orange offense. She was named a Second Team All-ACC honoree. This is Trinkaus' first career All-Region award.
