The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) announced its 2026 Division III All-Americans and major award winners this week, with Rhodes College represented by two student-athletes on the honorable mention team.

Junior attacker Gavin Nagle and senior defender Lucas Pagliarulo each earned USILA Honorable Mention All-America recognition following standout seasons for the Lynx.

Nagle, a First Team All-Southern Athletic Association selection, finished the season with 96 points on 49 goals and 47 assists while starting all 19 games for Rhodes. The junior attacker recorded 13 multi-goal performances and posted eight-point outings against both Wittenberg and Rivier during the year. He also collected 42 ground balls and finished as one of the top offensive playmakers in the conference.

Pagliarulo added national recognition to an already decorated season after being named the SAA Defensive Player of the Year. The senior defender started all 19 games and anchored the Rhodes defense throughout the spring, totaling 35 ground balls and 19 caused turnovers while routinely matching up against opposing top attackers. Pagliarulo also contributed offensively with 10 points on five goals and five assists during the season.

The duo helped lead Rhodes to a strong 2026 campaign that included a trip to the Southern Athletic Association Championship game and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The USILA Division III All-America teams recognize the top men's lacrosse student-athletes across the country for their performance throughout the season.
