One of VMI’s top academic performing teams every year, the VMI lacrosse team received Team All-Academic honors by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association June 29, 2025.
In order to achieve the status, the program must hold a team cumulative GPA of 3.0, which the Keydets surpassed with an impressive 3.2 team GPA for the 2024–25 academic year.
The Keydets are one of just 34 NCAA Division I programs to achieve the team academic award and one of only two teams from the Northeast Conference to attain the recognition.
The Keydets are coming off their best season in 37 years after achieving 10 wins this past season, the second-highest amount in program history, which dates back to 1983. USILA also gave VMI Top 20 votes after the Keydets for the first time since 1992, after the Keydets wrapped up their season in late April.
Finishing the regular season as the No. 2-ranked scoring offense in the NCAA, the Keydets registered 205 goals on the season to set a new program benchmark for goals in a single season, besting the previous mark of 198 goals.
James Boynewicz ’25 was one of two VMI cadet-athletes to receive a prestigious Southern Conference Postgraduate Scholarship, and last month four Keydets (Boynewicz, Chris Golini ’25, Simon Moore ’25, and Dayton Bagwell ’27) earned the prominent academic award of being named College Sports Communicators Academic All-District recipients.
