Ryan earns her first All-Conference nod after a standout junior campaign. Ryan started in 23 games where she averaged 12.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 0.6 blocked shots. She is part of the Scranton team and led the league in defensive scoring, limiting opponents to just 48.3 points per game.
She is just the third Lady Royal to be voted Defensive Player of the Year, joining Emily Sheehan, who was honored in both 2019 and 2020.
