At the end of the regular season, Thompson racked up 40 goals and a league-leading 63 assists for 93 total points. She added 67 groundballs, 86 draw controls, and 45 caused turnovers. To date, she has scored 87 goals, 136 assists and 205 groundballs.

Calabro helped the Royals earn the No. 2 seed in the Landmark Championship. In a talented freshman class, she became a valuable asset, contributing offensively with 25 goals, 56 assets, 39 groundballs, and 32 caused turnovers.

Wilson and her staff earned Coaching Staff of the Year honors for the second time in her career. The Royals boast a 12-6 overall record and went 6-1 in the Landmark to earn the No. 2 seed.

The duo were also among the 13 individuals who achieved First Team All-Landmark status.

Three additional players from Scranton made the cut, with attacker Elena Gallo, midfielder Christine Olert,  and defender Becca Russo landing on the First Team. Gallo enters the postseason with 60 goals on the season while Olert has 21. Russo helped the Scranton defense allow only 60 goals this season in conference games for an 8.57 goals against average.

Catholic landed five on the First Team list. Nicolette Crisalli earns her third First Team nod this spring. The senior ranks second in the conference with 66 goals and has helped the Cardinals clinch the No. 1 seed in the Landmark Championship. Joining her are midfielder Jessica Lyons, defenders Kayla Purdy and Erin Dugan. This is Dugan's second time being named to the First Team as a defender.

Moravian's Liz Bill earns her first nod on the Landmark First Team. The sophomore leads the conference with 73 goals. Joining her is Allie Didario from Drew, who was the 2017 Rookie of the Year and Libby Dex from Susquehanna, both who are making their first appearance on the First Team.
