DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's lacrosse attacker
Eva Pronti and draw specialist
Ellie White were tabbed to the 2025-26 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District At-Large teams, the organization announced. White was named as a finalist and will advance to the Academic All-America ballot.
The first-career CSC Academic All-District recognition for Pronti and White are just the latest postseason awards for the Blue Devil duo. Academic All-America honorees will be announced July 8.
Dubbed a 2026 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Third Team All-American, Inside Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention and IWLCA All-South Region First Team selection, Pronti was an instrumental component to the Duke offense this season. The Rochester, New York, product netted 19 goals and a team-best 51 assists to pace the squad with 70 points. Her 51 helpers during the year broke her own Duke single-season mark set in 2025, while ranking second in the ACC and 13th in the NCAA.
The All-ACC First Team selection and Nike Lacrosse Midseason Media Third Team All-American produced 12 multi-assist games on the year, including nine contests with three or more helpers. On the scoring front, Pronti posted six multi-goal outings, headlined by her first career hat trick against Boston College.
As a Blue Devil, Pronti has dished 109 assists – third all-time in program lore. She is just the third Duke player in program history to reach 100 career dimes and sits seven assists away from No. 2 all-time on the program charts.
White, the Blue Devils' top draw taker this season, comfortably paced the ACC in both total draw controls (167) and draws per game (9.82) – the latter also ranking sixth in the NCAA. The 2026 Inside Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention and IWLCA All-South Region First Team honoree nabbed a career-high 16 draw controls against East Carolina, then matched that total late in the season at Florida State. White totaled double-digit draw wins in six other games during the year – Elon (15), Boston College (14), Johns Hopkins (14), High Point (11), Richmond (10) and Virginia Tech (10).
The Lutherville, Maryland, standout currently owns 267 career draw controls – third all-time on the Duke charts – and is just the fifth Blue Devil all-time to eclipse 200 for their career.
