Coaches, athletic directors and fans can nominate players to be considered for the team on the event website. THE TEAMS The All-Americans were assigned to teams from North and South regions of the United States. A geographic line was established to allow a fair assignment of known lacrosse powerhouse schools.

The games will be played over the three-day All-America weekend at Towson University. Tryouts for these teams were held in their respective markets during May or June. In all, nearly 3,500 kids tried out for the Under Armour Underclassmen teams. Each tryout was attended by an average of 60 college coaches from some of the top programs in the nation. THE UNCOMMITTED GAMES The Uncommitted Games. are part of the event for the second time. Each year there are very talented players who are on the cusp of making their respective underclass team, but are not selected. Aside from the 24 players chosen for each regional team, five uncommitted (to college) players will be invited to compete and showcase themselves this weekend. A total of 50 players in each of the graduating classes - 2015, 2016, 2017 - for both boys and girls will play head-to-head games on Saturday.

This weekend, the eyes of the lacrosse world are focused on Towson University as the most elite high Wschool lacrosse players in the country demonstrate their skills in front of the game’s top collegiate coaches, passionate fans, and fellow elite players. We are excited to host players from all corners of the United States and congratulate them for their tremendous achievement of earning the sport’s biggest honor…being named an Under Armour All-American. The Under Armour All-America label is one that will stick with a player throughout their playing career. It also represents years of dedication, sacrifice and the support of an entire network of family, friends, coaches, and teammates. Inside Lacrosse was instrumental in the selection of the senior All-America teams through a committee made up of the nation’s most knowledgeable figures in high school lacrosse. They picked the brains of college and high school coaches from across the country to find the best of the best. The ultimate litmus test of an Under Armour All-American is how a player performs at the collegiate level. A total of 48 former Under Armour All-Americans were named to their respective college’s all-conference first teams at the conclusion of 2014 college lacrosse season. University of Maryland’s Taylor Cummings (2012) and Lyle (2011) and Miles (2010) Thompson from Albany walked away with the prestigious Tewaaraton Award. The Underclass tournament affiliated with this event has evolved into lacrosse’s most prestigious showcase tournament. In both Long Island and Baltimore, for example, more than 125 college coaches attended the boys tryouts. Overall more than 3,000 student-athletes registered for the opportunity to earn a spot on their respective regional team….an all-time event record. We are delighted to expand the event with the creation of our Junior College games. In addition to the 24 players selected for each regional underclass team, five uncommitted players from each boys and girls region in the graduating classes of 2015, 2016 and 2017 were invited to compete in one game at the event. For the second year in a row, the uncommitted games promise to be a huge draw for college coaches. A big thank you goes to the people behind the scenes such as Bill Murphy and his staff at Towson University. Their tireless work during a holiday weekend plays a huge role in this event’s exponential growth and success. Thank you for being a part of this exciting and important event. Good luck to our athletes, and most importantly, have fun! 4 ALL-AMERICA GIRLS ROSTERS NORTH GIRLS # NAME POS.
