The Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team has achieved significant recognition, with four players earning spots on the 2026 USILA All-America Team. Senior midfielder Matt Collison received first-team honors, marking his third such accolade this year, while senior defenseman Carson Brown, senior goalie Oran Gelinas, and sophomore short stick defensive midfielder Reece DiCicco received honorable mentions. Collison's accolades highlight his dominant performance throughout his career, as he is only the 20th Blue Jay to earn All-America honors four times. The team's successful season included a 10-6 record, a share of the Big Ten title, and advancement to the NCAA Quarterfinals.

By the Numbers
  • Collison scored 30 goals and tallied 16 assists in his senior season, bringing his career totals to 100 goals and 47 assists.
  • Carson Brown registered 42 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers this season, contributing to his career stats of 70 ground balls and 27 caused turnovers.
Yes, But

While the team's achievements are commendable, there may be concerns about their ability to maintain this level of performance in the future as they lose key seniors like Collison and Gelinas.

State of Play
  • Johns Hopkins finished the season with a 10-6 record and shared the Big Ten regular season title.
  • The team advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals, marking their third appearance in four years.
What's Next

Looking ahead, the team's ability to recruit and develop new talent will be critical for sustaining success and building on this past season's accomplishments.

Bottom Line

The recognition of the four players underscores the program's strength, but strategic foresight in recruiting will be crucial for navigating the transition as they prepare for the next season.
