The University of Scranton field hockey team had six student-athletes earn All-Landmark Conference honors, as announced by the conference office today.

Scranton's honorees include Landmark Offensive Player of the Year Shana Goldsmith, Defensive Player of the Year Ruby Sorber, along with four first team, one second team, and one honorable mention selection.

The Royals captured their second consecutive Landmark title with a 2-1 victory over Susquehanna on November 7 and will open NCAA Tournament play this Wednesday against Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, PA. 

Shana Goldsmith – Offensive Player of the Year / First Team Forward

• Goldsmith earns Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors after leading the conference in goals, points, and game-winning goals this fall. 
• The junior has tallied an impressive 48 points on 21 goals and six assists while pacing an attacking front that has scored 66 goals in 19 games and ranks among the nation's top offenses. 
• She proved to be an efficient scoring threat, posting a .350 shooting percentage with 47 shots on goal and scoring six game-winners. 
• Goldsmith has recorded multiple goals in eight games this season, including a two goal performance in Landmark title game victory. 
• This marks Goldsmith's second All-Conference selection, and she becomes the fifth Royal in program history to earn Landmark Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors and first since Katie Redding won the award three straight seasons from 2022-24.

Ruby Sorber – Defensive Player of the Year / First Team Goalkeeper 

• Sorber earns Landmark Defensive Player of the Year honors following a dominant season in goal for the Royals. 
• The sophomore led the Landmark in total shutouts (9) and ranks ninth nationally in goals against average (0.71), while also ranking third in the conference in save percentage (0.818).
• Sorber was the backbone of a defensive unit that allowed just four goals in Landmark play and ranks sixth nationally in team goals against average (0.79), seventh in shutouts per game (0.56), and 11th in save percentage (0.827). 
• Sorber delivered several key performances throughout the season, including helping secure two shootout victories and making a crucial stop as time expired in the Landmark Championship game. 
• This marks Sorber's first All-Conference selection, and she becomes the second consecutive and third overall Royal to earn Defensive Player of the Year recognition, following MacLean Thuermer in 2025 and Jessica Pankey in 2015.
