The honorees come from 14 different schools, and 22 of the 25 are from the U.S., with one each from Ontario, Austria and Switzerland. The state of Minnesota, with four players, provided the most All-Americans.

Five players have been previously recognized: Plattsburgh’s Annie Katonka and Erin McArdle, Amherst’s Caitlyn Walker, and UW-RF’s Abigail Stow and Callie Hoff.
