Caitlin Hoover and
Megan Dadio earned spots on the first team, while

Caitlin Hoover completed one of the best offensive seasons in Franklin & Marshall field hockey history, leading to her second NFHCA All-Region V First-Team appearance. Last month, she was named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Year with a second consecutive season on the conference's first team. Across Division III, she ranked sixth in goals per game (1.28) and seventh in points per game (2.94), leading the Centennial Conference in both categories plus game-winning goals (7). In program history, it was the second-best goals per game and points per game mark behind Becky Willert's 2011 campaign (1.33 GPG, 3.00 PPG). Her 56 points were the third-most in a single season, while her 24 goals ranked fourth. Across 19 games played, she scored at least a point in 16 games, with 14 multi-point games and eight-multi goal games. The season included a run of 15 consecutive games with at least a point. Hoover recorded three hat-tricks in 2025, breaking the program's career hat-trick record in the process with five total. She collected the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week Award four times. It's the fourth time F&M had won the Offensive Player of the Year award after Erin Coverdale (2017, 18) and Lily Mynott (2019) won the award across three consecutive seasons.
Megan Dadio is a first-time NFHCA All-Region V player after earning a first-team selection in 2025. Last month, she earned her second consecutive All-Centennial Conference selection, moving up from honorable mention in 2024 to the first team in 2025. The sophomore midfielder totaled six goals and six assists for 18 points in 2025, ranking 9th in assists per game (0.33), tied for 17th in points per game (0.96), and tied for 21st in goals per game (0.32). She had six games with multiple points and scored the game-winning goal in F&M's 4-0 win over Alvernia (Sept. 17).
