PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Six players from the St. John Fisher University men's lacrosse team have earned NCAA Division III All-America honors from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Coaches Association (USILA) for the 2026 season.
Senior goalkeeper Tyler Manning headlines the Cardinals' list of honorees as a second-team selection. Junior midfielder Sean Donaldson and freshman faceoff specialist Jonah Vormwald garnered third-team recognition, and senior midfielder Lane Edinger, senior short-stick defensive midfielder Matt Slowinski and freshman defender Connor Gray were named honorable mentions.
Now a two-time USILA All-American, Manning once again ranked among the top goalkeepers in Division III this season. He ended the year eighth nationally in goals against average (7.66) and 11th in save percentage (60.6%). Manning recorded 10 or more saves in 11 games, including in a win over Nazareth in the conference title game (18 saves) and in the Cardinals' NCAA Tournament matchup against Williams (13 saves).
Manning, a two-time Empire 8 Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, ended his collegiate career sixth in program history in saves (433) and fifth in goals against average (8.55). He posted a .569 save percentage and a 33-8 record.
Donaldson delivered the best season of his collegiate career with 57 points (tied for third on the team) on 43 goals (tied for the team lead) and 14 assists. He scored multiple goals in all but six games and had three points or more in 13 contests.
Vormwald produced numbers this season that rival those of the top faceoff specialists in Fisher history, as he won 249 of his 341 attempts at the X for a program single-season record winning percentage of .730. The Empire 8 Rookie of the Year's 177 ground ball recoveries also led the Cardinals and marked the third-most by a Fisher player in a season. He added seven points offensively with two goals and five assists.
Edinger capped his collegiate career with his most productive season, tallying a team-leading 64 points on 43 goals and 21 assists. He had five points or more in six games, including a career-high seven on five goals and a pair of helpers in a victory over Hartwick on April 25.
Slowinski was a key part of the nation's eighth-ranked scoring defense, which allowed just 7.20 goals per game. He recorded three caused turnovers and 20 ground ball recoveries while also chipping in offensively with three points on a goal and two assists.
Gray, who projects as a cornerstone of the Cardinals' defense for the next three years, finished his rookie season with 21 caused turnovers and 27 ground ball pickups. He set season highs with four caused turnovers and four ground ball recoveries against nationally ranked RIT on March 18.
The Cardinals finished the 2026 campaign 17-3 overall. They won the Empire 8 and reached the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive season.
