US Lacrosse Names 2001 Women's Division High School All-Americans

US Lacrosse is pleased to announce its 2001 Women's Division High School All-Americans, honoring 120 of the top high school girls lacrosse players in the United States. An additional 119 players were named as honorable mention selections.

The All-Americans are selected by high school coaches on a regional basis. Each area is allotted a number of All-Americans based upon the number of coaches from that area who are members of US Lacrosse, the national governing body of the sport.
