DURHAM, N.C.—The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association has announced its USILA/Warrior and New Balance Division I Scholar All-Americans and a pair of Blue Devils are among the 71 honorees. The defensive duo of Cade Van Raaphorst and Peter Welch are the latest Blue Devils to earn recognition for their excellence on the field and in the classroom.
Duke and North Carolina are the only two ACC programs to have multiple players picked for the squad. It marks the 13th time the Blue Devils have landed multiple players on the list.
Van Raaphorst, a first team All-America choice for the second consecutive season, helped anchor one of the country’s fiercest defenses.
