BALTIMORE, Md. — Navy men's lacrosse standout AJ Marsh (So / Reisterstown, Md.) was among the 115 Div. I student-athletes to garner All-America recognition, it was announced by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). Navy has now secured an All-American in 99 of the 103 years in which the awards have been handed out, earning a combined 443 citations by 281 different players.
Marsh, who garnered Honorable Mention All-America honors by USA Lacrosse and Inside Lacrosse, is a first-time recipient of All-America recognition by the USILA. The 2025 USILA Honorable Mention All-American and two-time All-Patriot League selection was tasked with defending the opposing team's most lethal offensive weapon. After spending his rookie year as a long-stick defensive middie, he flourished this season in his role down low on a Navy defense that held its opponents to 10.60 goals per game. He was named to the USILA National Team of the Week following his performance against Lafayette where he held First-Team All-Patriot League attackman Riley Sullivan, who was the nation's #2 point producer (6.67) and #1 assist distributor (3.89) at the time, to just ONE point (G) in the contest. Active on the ball, Marsh, along with Jacob Darrow (Sr / D / Millersville, Md.) and Sean Gallagher (Jr / LSM / Garnet Valley, Pa.), led the team with 14 caused turnovers.
In addition to his defensive efforts, he's one of the most dynamic players in the country in the transition game. Marsh recorded 9 points on 5 goals and 4 assists this spring. In just 2 seasons, he has recorded 14-career points (7G, 7A), the third-most points by a Navy pole, while his 5 goals are tied as the fourth most.
Navy was one of six Patriot League teams to have at least one player named to the USILA All-America teams - Army (7), Colgate (4), Lehigh (2), Boston U. (1), Lafayette (1), Navy (1).
