LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Owen Conway and Kier McKnight of the Catawba College men's lacrosse program earned honorable mention nods to the USILA All-America Team per the organization's Thursday release.

Conway is a unanimous All-American, collecting recognition from both USILA and USA Lacrosse, after an exemplary sophomore year in the defense. The second-year long pole logged a team-best 25 caused turnovers with 35 ground balls through 11 games played. He was named to the USILA Team of the Week twice following big performances, highlighted by his five caused turnovers and five ground balls in the upset of then-No. 4 Anderson.

McKnight took over as Catawba's primary short-stick defensive midfielder this season, fending off and taking possession away from multiple up-tempo offenses. He snatched up 16 ground balls with nine caused turnovers for the year, mostly coming in the home stretch. The junior recorded at least one caused turnover and one ground ball in four of the final five contests, tallying two takeaways against both Wingate and Anderson.

Three different Catawba Indians have been named All-Americans for the 2026 season, the most in program history.
