CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Duke senior attacker Eva Pronti and Stanford senior attacker Aliya Polisky shared the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 2026 Women’s Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors and lead the 2026 Women’s Lacrosse All-ACC Academic Team, as announced Thursday by the league office.
 
A native of Rochester, New York, Pronti was an IWLCA Third-Team All-American, IWLCA First-Team All-South Region and a First-Team All-ACC honoree in 2026. She had a historic season at Duke, setting the program’s single-season assists record with 51, while also recording 19 goals to finish with a team-high 70 points. She concluded her career ranked No. 3 in career assists at Duke with 109. The political science major was a dean’s list honoree in both semesters this year. She was named to the All-ACC Academic Team for the fourth straight year.
 
Hailing from Franklin, Tennessee, Polisky was an IWLCA Second-Team All-American, IWLCA First-Team All-West/Midwest Region and a First-Team All-ACC honoree in 2026. She was instrumental in a record-setting season for Stanford, leading the team in goals (51) and points (78) while posting a career-high 27 assists as the Cardinals set a school record for wins (17) while advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time. She became just the fourth Cardinal to earn 200+ points in their career. A design major, Polisky completed her undergraduate degree this season and earned All-ACC Academic Team laurels for the second straight season.
 
Four of the ACC’s five season award honorees were represented on the All-ACC Academic Team – Clemson’s Alexa Spallina (Freshman of the Year), North Carolina’s Chloe Humphrey (Attacker of the Year) and Eliza Osburn (Midfielder of the Year) and Syracuse’s Daniella Guyette (Goalkeeper of the Year).
 
Forty members of the All-ACC Academic Team also were named to the 2026 All-ACC Team, including 13 first-teamers, 13 members of the second team and 14 third-teamers.
 
The 2026 All-ACC Academic Team features 204 student-athletes from each of the league’s 13 women’s lacrosse programs.
 
Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests. Scholar-Athlete of the Year nominees must be an undergraduate student-athlete who is an upperclassman and has been enrolled at the institution for at least one academic year with a cumulative GPA of 3.0, including a 3.0 in the most recent two semesters or three quarters.
