Army West Point’s Brigid Duffy, Chloe Humphrey of the University of North Carolina, Johns Hopkins University’s Reagan O’Brien and Madison Taylor from Northwestern University  have been announced as the four finalists for the Class of 2026 Honda Sport Award for lacrosse, as revealed today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).

The announcement comes during a landmark moment for the organization, as the CWSA celebrates its 50th anniversary during the 2025-26 collegiate athletics season. For five decades, the Honda Sport Award has honored the nation’s top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports, symbolizing “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.” The recipient will become a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the Class of 2026 Honda Cup, to be presented live on Monday, July 27, at 7 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network.

The lacrosse finalists were selected by a panel of experts and coaches from the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA). The Honda Sport award winner for lacrosse will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools.

Duffy, a senior midfielder from Queensbury, N.Y., became Army West Point’s first-ever Tewaaraton finalist and earned 2026 IWLCA Midfielder of the Year honors after setting the Patriot League single-season goals record with 77 and rewriting multiple Army records. Duffy also made history as the first player from a service academy selected to the senior-level U.S. Women’s National Team.

Sophomore Chloe Humphrey of Darien, Conn., continued her dominant collegiate career as a two-time IWLCA Player and Attacker of the Year and two-time Tewaaraton finalist after leading the nation with 109 goals and 159 points. The reigning Honda Award winner helped guide the Tar Heels to the 2026 NCAA Championship game while tying the NCAA single-season goals record (109).

O’Brien, a senior defender from Charlestown, Mass., earned IWLCA Defender of the Year honors and became one of the most disruptive defensive players in NCAA history. A two-time Tewaaraton finalist, O’Brien holds the NCAA career and single-season records for caused turnovers and led the nation again in caused turnovers per game during the 2026 season with Johns Hopkins.

Northwestern senior Madison Taylor of Wantagh, N.Y., captured the 2026 Tewaaraton Award and helped lead the Wildcats to their ninth NCAA national championship and her second career title. A three-time Honda Award finalist and three-time IWLCA First Team All-American, Taylor finished second nationally in both goals and points while tying the Northwestern career record with 483 career points.

As the CWSA marks its 50th anniversary, the organization continues its longstanding mission to honor excellence in athletics, leadership, academics, and community service. Since 1986, Honda has contributed more than $3.4 million in institutional grants to support women’s athletics programs nationwide.
