Lizzie Belton were named First-Team All-Americans, while

When asked about the upcoming schedule, she stated, "We are really excited about our 2026 schedule. We've set it up with the intention of competing with the best all season long. With eight Top-10 matchups, we will be challenged mentally and physically but also define our identity and culture as a program. Our team has been working extremely hard to get better every day, and I am really excited to see where the 2026 season takes us."
