BRISTOL, R.I. — Senior defender Kyle Zirn (Derry, N.H.) of the Roger Williams University men's lacrosse team earned national recognition from USA Lacrosse, being named a 2026 Division III Men's Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-American, as announced by the organization on Wednesday.

The recognition marks Zirn's second consecutive USA Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-America selection after also earning the distinction during the 2025 season. He is the first to earn USA Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention honors twice.

Starting all 19 games for the Hawks in 2026, Zirn totaled 90 ground balls and 55 caused turnovers while adding two assists offensively. His 90 ground balls rank eighth in program history for a single season, while his 55 caused turnovers rank second all-time in a single season behind only his own program-record mark of 57 set in 2025. Zirn also owns four of the top five single-season caused turnover totals in school history.

He recorded at least four caused turnovers in seven contests and collected a season-high nine ground balls in a conference victory over Gordon College on March 25. Zirn also posted five caused turnovers against both Wheaton College and Emerson College during the season.

Among his top performances of the year, Zirn tallied seven ground balls and five caused turnovers in a road victory over Emmanuel College while adding an assist, and later contributed seven ground balls and four caused turnovers in the Hawks' Conference of New England Tournament matchup against Endicott College.

Zirn closes his collegiate career as Roger Williams' all-time leader in caused turnovers with 195, nearly doubling the previous program record of 107 held by Tyler Zanini. He also finished second in school history with 283 career ground balls, trailing only Alan Williams' 412, while recording the most ground balls ever by a non-faceoff specialist in program history.

Selections were made by the staff of USA Lacrosse Magazine with input from coaches and conferences from across the country.
