TROY, N.Y. — Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake alumnus Tyler Manning has earned a spot on the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s Third-Team Preseason All-American list, highlighting one of the region’s standout players as the 2026 campaign approaches.
The announcement comes as the Empire 8 men’s lacrosse season prepares to open on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, with three conference squads slated for non-league competition. St. John Fisher University, which has captured six consecutive Empire 8 titles, will aim to extend its streak this spring while a 10-team field vies for the 2026 championship.
League action begins Sunday, March 21, and the top six finishers will qualify for the Empire 8 Championship Tournament. First-round games are scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, followed by semifinals on Thursday, April 30, and the title contest on Saturday, May 2.
Manning’s preseason accolade adds a local storyline to the conference race and positions the former Spartan as a player to watch when the opening faceoff arrives next month.
