LANCASTER, Pa. – Lizzie Neville of the Franklin & Marshall women's basketball team was recognized as a First Team All-Centennial Conference (CC) selection, as announced by the conference office Wednesday morning. Neville became the first Diplomat to be named to the first team since Alexa Barbush '13 during the 2012-13 season. Additionally, Lauren Rusas was selected to represent F&M on the CC All-Sportsmanship team.

Neville earned First Team All-Centennial Conference following a season where she averaged a team-high 15.5 points per game, 3.0 assists per game, 2.6 steals per game, and 33.3 minutes played per contest. Neville also finished fourth in the Centennial in free throw percentage, shooting 78.8 percent from the charity stripe. The Waverly, Pa. native scored double-figures in 19 games this season with a career-high 34 points coming in the win over Centenary in late-November.

This season, Neville became the 19th player in program history to score 1,000 career points and was the first to reach the mark during the Brianna Spector era. Neville leaves her name all throughout the program record book as she finishes her career ranked second in minutes played (3,226), fifth in steals per game (2.5), tied for sixth in assists (279), and 15th in points (1,159).

Rusas is Franklin & Marshall's Centennial Conference All-Sportsmanship Team representative for the first time in her career. Rusas started all 25 games for the Diplomats this season, averaging 23.0 minutes per game, 5.1 points per game and 2.8 rebounds per game. The Far Hills, New Jersey native ended the 2025-26 season reaching double-digit scoring figures in five games, including a 12-point performance to tie her career-best in the win over Haverford in early-January.

Franklin & Marshall finished the season with a 14-11 overall record, while earning a 7-7 record against CC opponents. The Diplomats also completed back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.
