Sparks, Md. – Le Moyne College junior goalkeeper Lucas Winger (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South) has been named a USA Lacrosse Preseason All-America Honorable Mention selection, as announced on Tuesday afternoon.
 
USA Lacrosse Preseason All-Americans are selected by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors with input from collegiate coaches.
 
Winger, who is the only player from an NEC team to be recognized, earns the accolade after being named the Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-Conference First Team last season, becoming the seventh Dolphin goalkeeper, for a total of 12 times, to be selected as the top goalie in a conference. A starter in each of the last 10 games of the season, Winger registered a 7.70 goals against average, 147 saves and a .636 save percentage over 654:38 between the pipes. The Conference's Defensive Player of the Week on three occasions, he led the NEC in goals against average and save percentage. If Le Moyne student-athletes were eligible for national rankings, he would have led Division I in save percentage and ranked second in goals against average. He made at least 10 saves in all 10 starts along with the Hobart game when he seized the position, including four games with at least 15 saves.
 
The Dolphins, who finished their second year at the Division I level and first in the NEC with a 9-6 overall record and a 6-1 mark in league play to a share of the regular season conference championship and the top seed in the league tournament, open the 2026 season on Saturday, February 7 at 12:00 p.m. at Homewood Field in Baltimore, Maryland against recently-reclassified Queens University of Charlotte.
