MEDFORD, MA (May 22, 2026) -- The 2026 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) announced their annual All-American list Friday morning, and the Tufts University women's lacrosse team was honored with three on the three squads including two attack players on the First Team.
Senior
Allie Zorn was named to the IWLCA First Team for the first time in her historic career, as she improved from a Second Team accolade as a junior. First-year
Eleanor Helm was the lone first-year on any of the three All-American teams, as she was named to the IWLCA First Team as well with Zorn. Senior defender
Nicola Donlan was tabbed to the Third Team after a break out season in 2026.
Zorn and Helm were part of the highest scoring offensive unit in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). The senior from Bedford, MA comes into the weekend with a team-high 58 goals, adding 27 assists for 85 points. Zorn also has a team-high 13 free-position goals, and added 20 ground balls.
Helm set the Tufts single-season women's lacrosse points record last weekend against Williams, as the newcomer has 97 points coming into the NCAA semifinals. Helm has 49 goals and 48 assists, as the 48 helpers are second all-time for a single season at Tufts. Helm also has 32 ground balls this spring, third-best on the team.
Donlan has started all 20 games on defense for the Jumbos, as she is second on the team in both ground balls with 35 and caused turnovers with 18. Donlan also has helped lead a young defense that had two first-years and a sophomore next to her, along with a sophomore goalkeeper.
Tufts takes on No. 1 Middlebury College Friday at noon in Rochester, NY in the NCAA Semifinals at Judson Stadium.
