Six Cavaliers Named USA Lacrosse Preseason All-Americans
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Six Virginia men’s lacrosse players have been voted Preseason All-Americans by USA Lacrosse, the organization announced Wednesday (Jan. 22).
Noah Chizmar (SSDM), McCabe Millon (attack), Griffin Schutz (midfield), and Ben Wayer (LSM) nabbed second-team honors, while Johnny Hackett (attack/midfield) and John Schroter (defense) were named to the honorable mention list.
Virginia’s four second-team honorees led all programs nationally and its six total recipients tied for third-most overall.
Preseason All-Americans are compiled by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors with consultation from college coaches.
The Cavaliers were voted No. 5 in USA Lacrosse Magazine’s preseason poll, which was announced on Jan. 9.
Virginia kicks off its 2025 campaign on Saturday, Feb. 8, when the Hoos host Colgate in their season opener. Broadcast designations and outstanding start times will be announced at later date as determined by the ACC and its television partners.
