Jillian Lopez – Offensive Player of the Year / First Team All-Conference
- After a historic 2026 regular season, Lopez earned her first Offensive Player of the Year award of her career. The junior is the third Royal to earn the honor and the first since Jill Henson in 2021.
- Lopez leads the Royals with 84 points and ranks among the top 10 nationally with a career-best 72 goals this season. She has added 12 assists, 30 ground balls, 18 caused turnovers and 50 draw controls, including the 200th draw control of her career to become the third player in program history to reach the milestone. The Sayville, N.Y., native has set new career highs in points, goals and assists during her standout junior season.
- The junior captain has recorded multiple goals in 17 of her 18 appearances this season and has scored four or more goals nine times. In eight non-conference matchups against teams ranked in the top 25 of the IWLCA Coaches Poll, she totaled 37 goals and five assists, establishing herself as a dominant offensive presence against some of the nation's top competition.
- After earning All-Conference Second Team honors last season and All-Landmark Honorable Mention recognition as a freshman, Lopez is now a three-time All-Landmark selection and adds Offensive Player of the Year to her resume.
Eileen Hewitt – Defensive Player of the Year / First Team All-Conference
- Hewitt earned Defensive Player of the Year honors following a standout 2026 campaign in which she anchored the Landmark Conference's top-ranked defense. The award marks the first Defensive Player of the Year recognition of her career and the second major conference honor for the junior, who was named Rookie of the Year in 2024. She becomes the third Royal to earn the award and the first since Emily Schum claimed the honor in 2022.
- The Downingtown, Pa., native is third in the Landmark with 38 caused turnovers and ranks fourth with 54 ground balls. She leads a Scranton unit that allows just 8.00 goals per game overall and only 5.40 goals per game against conference opponents this season.
- Hewitt has also made a significant impact on the offensive end. She ranks fifth in the conference with a career-best 49 goals and sits fourth with a career high of 77 points, while adding 33 assists as well. The junior has also recorded a career-best 92 draw controls, including the 200th of her career earlier this season, becoming just the second player in program history to reach the milestone. Hewitt has scored at least one goal in every game this season and has posted multiple goals in 16 of 18 contests.
- A First Team All-Conference selection in each of the past two seasons after earning Second Team honors as a freshman, Hewitt is now a three-time All-Landmark honoree and adds Defensive Player of the Year to an already decorated resume.
