Liszt played an instrumental role for the Seahawks, helping her team earn the top spot in the Conference Championship and an eventual United East title. The junior had the offense dialed up as her shooting percentage of 47.7% from the field was the second-best in the conference (69th best in all of DIII). This led to her averaging a team-leading 14.5 points per game, scoring in double-digits in 21 contests this year. One of her top outings came against Penn State Abington in the regular season as she scored 30 points on 10-14 shooting. Liszt found other ways to contribute as well, corralling 124 boards and accruing 55 steals. The Baltimore, Md. native collected United East Player of the Year honors this season as well as a spot on the All-Conference First Team.

 

Hackney played a large part in Abington’s success this season as the squad finished with a record of 20-7 and the Runners Up at the 2026 United East Championship. The junior was an offensive juggernaut as she led the conference in total points scored (475) and points-per-game (17.6). Hackney led the way with 182 made field goals as well, including the third-most 3-pointers (49). Hackney relied on tough defense as well, registering 74 steals which ranked third in the conference. One of her top performances came in the regular season finale as her 20-point, 13-rebound double-double helped Abington secure a crucial win. At the season’s conclusion, Hackney earned All-Conference First Team honors.
