2025 NAIA Women’s Lacrosse All-Americans, Coach and Player of the Year Announced

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NAIA announced the 2025 NAIA Women’s Lacrosse All-Americans and Coach and Player of the Year. 48 Women's Lacrosse student-athletes were recognized as All-Americans across three teams, highlighted by First-Team All-American and NAIA Women's Lacrosse Player of the Year, Kaylen Moore of Benedictine (Kan.), and the 2025 NAIA Women's Lacrosse Coach of the Year, Clare Hanson of Benedictine (Kan.).

Moore has a season for the record books, setting a new record for most assists in a season at 68, three more than the previous record that was set in 2022 by Mogan McGhee of Reinhardt (Ga.). Moore played in all 21 of the Ravens' contests this season, stacking up 159 points with 91 goals, adding her name to another category in the record book. The Seattle, Wash., native also proved to be successful on draw controls this season, setting yet another record for most draw controls in a season at 205, 20 more than the previous record.

After claiming the second red banner in program history and a perfect season at 21-0, Ravens head coach Clare Hanson was named 2025 NAIA Women's Lacrosse Coach of the Year. Hanson and company led the nation in ten different team stat categories, including draw controls per game, goals against average, and ground balls to highlight a few. This honor is Hanson's first of her four-year head coaching career.

The All-America Committee, comprised of women's lacrosse coaches from across the country, makes the All-America selections. The list comprises 16 members for the first, second, and third teams.
