The first team on the men’s side features three players (Carter Collins, Ben McCreary and Nate Arnold) from 2021 champion Le Moyne. On the women’s side, reigning national champion Lindenwood placed four players on the list, including two on the first team (Lexy Biller and Alyssa Kneedler).
2. And the best save of 2021 goes to ...
