The Big Ten recently released their all- conference Lacrosse teams ahead of the Big Ten tournament, with three Rutgers players earning All-Big Ten Status.  Joe Juengerkes was named First Team All-Big Ten, while Cardin Stoller and Colin Kurdyla were named to the All-Big Ten second team. In addition, Dylan Finder was on the All-Freshman Team.

This is the second year in a row that Juengerkes, Stoller, and Kurdyla have all earned All-Big Ten honors, and this is the eighth time out of the last nine all-conference selections that Rutgers has had three or more names called. Rutgers three All-Big Ten selections were good for the fourth most in the Big Ten.

Juengerkes was named to the preseason All-American second team before the 2026 season. During the regular season, Juengerkes totaled 42 ground balls and 13 caused turnovers with five goals and two assists across 14 games. He was also named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against Villanova in late February.

Like Juengerkes, Stoller was also named a preseason All-American. During the season itself, Stoller posted 145 saves with a 52.3% save percentage on 10.17 goals-against-average. Stroller kept Rutgers’ opponents to single digits 7 times during the season and was named the Big Ten Specialist of the Week for making 14 saves against Villanova.

This is Kurdyla’s second season in a row earning all-conference honors. Kurdyla was the knights’ preferred scoring option, as he led the team with 28 goals, 27 assists, and 55 points, all of which are career-highs for the junior. Kurdyla was a preseason All-American selection and was named the National Player of the Week and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on March 17 after he had 20 points combined against St. John’s and Bellarmine.

Finder played in 14 matches his freshman season, and burst on the season by collecting nine ground balls and causing four turnovers. He also earned Big Ten freshman of the week honors for his contributions to the win over Villanova.
