NORTHBOROUGH, MA  - Coming off one of the best seasons in school history, the Rowan women's lacrosse team enters the new year ranked #17 in the 2026 IWLCA Division III Preseason Poll.

The Profs finished the 2025 campaign with a 16-4 record to set the Rowan mark for victories, which included the best start in school history (8-0). Rowan earned its first at-large bid to the NCAA Championship where it hosted the Second Round and defeated Western Connecticut State, 20-5, to mark the program's first NCAA win since 2008. The Profs reached the Round of 16 for the furthest advancement under head coach Lindsay Delaney before falling to #7 Wesleyan (CT) in the Third Round. The Profs ended the year ranked #18 in the final IWLCA Coaches Poll. 

Among the top returnees is All-American Elaina Corson, who led the Profs in scoring with a career-best 84 goals and 18 assists (102 points). She set Rowan's single-season record for goals and established a new mark for goals in a game with 10 in the NCAA victory over WestConn.
