Polisky Completes All-America Trifecta

Stanford sophomore becomes second player in program history to earn three separate All-American honors in single season

STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford sophomore Aliya Polisky continues to reap the postseason accolades in 2025, becoming the second player in Stanford history to be named to three separate All-American lists having been named an Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Second Team All-American, the organization announced Thursday. 

Polisky, who was also named to the Third Team for both USA Lacrosse and ILWomen earlier this month, joins Ashley Humphrey as the only two players to have been named to three separate postseason All-American lists. Humphrey was an ILWomen Media Second Team and IWLCA Third Team All-American while also earning USA Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention honors in 2022. 

Having been named to the All-ACC First Team in Stanford’s inaugural season in the conference, Polisky broke two single-season program records during the 2025 campaign, amassing a program-best 150 shots and 65 goals to lead the Cardinal to a 15-6 record and its first NCAA Tournament win since 2016. The Tennessee native also set a new career-high in hat tricks with 17 on the season. 

Polisky has now been named an All-American in both of her first two seasons on The Farm after earning USA Lacrosse and ILWomen All-American Honorable Mention honors a season ago. She was an ILWomen Preseason Second Team All-American and USA Lacrosse Preseason Third Team All-American Selection heading into the 2025 campaign and solidified herself as one of the most formidable attackers in the nation, placing 14th in the nation heading into the NCAA Tournament in goals and 41st in DI with 75 points.
