The Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference (RMLC) is proud to announce its 2026 Division II All-Conference Teams and annual award winners, recognizing the top student-athletes and coaches for their outstanding performances throughout the season.

 Major Award Winners

Leading this year’s honors is Vernon Loucks (Montana State), who has been named the 2026 RMLC DII Offensive Player of the Year after a dominant campaign leading the Bobcats’ attack with 45 goals in 14 games.

 On the defensive side, Sam Radke (Montana State) earns RMLC DII Defensive Player of the Year honors, anchoring one of the conference’s most formidable units.

 The RMLC DII Rookie of the Year award goes to Zach Davis (Utah State), whose immediate impact made him one of the top defenders in the conference.

 Tyler Aki (MSU Denver) has been named RMLC DII Coach of the Year, recognized for his leadership and success guiding his program during the 2026 season in which his team narrowly missed the playoffs by a 1-goal loss.
