June 2, 2025 | Women's Lacrosse
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – University of North Carolina women's lacrosse phenom Chloe Humphrey has been named a finalist for the Honda Award for Lacrosse, Chris Voelz, Executive Director of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA), announced on Monday. Humphrey is looking to add to her trophy case after earning the Tewaaraton Award and IWLCA Player of the Year.
Â
Carolina has had two Honda Award winners in Kara Cannizzaro in 2013 and Jamie Ortega in 2022. The Tar Heels have had six additional finalists in Christine McPike ('02), Amber Falcone ('09), Jen Russell ('10), Marie McCool ('17, '18) and Taylor Moreno ('21).
Â
Humphrey, the freshman from Darien, Conn., has taken the collegiate lacrosse world by storm. She delivered a historic 2025 season, racking up 90 goals and 28 assists for a staggering 118 points. Her 90 goals set a new NCAA freshman record, a UNC single-season record and powered the Tar Heels to their fourth National Championship. A first-team All-American, Humphrey also earned first-team All-ACC honors, ACC Tournament MVP, and NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She recorded hat tricks in 18 of 22 games, including nine performances with five or more goals.
Â
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 49 years, recognizing the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and symbolizing "the best of the best in collegiate athletics." The recipient of the sport award will become a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the 2025 Honda Cup, which will be presented during the live broadcast of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Presented by Honda on June 30, at 7 pm ET, on CBS Sports Network.
Â
The lacrosse finalists were chosen by a panel of experts and coaches from the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association (IWLCA). The Honda Sport award winner for lacrosse will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.Â
