Nobody made all-conference in soccer, but senior Mikayla Churchill and junior Parker Thompson, both of Washburn, were selected to the Sportsmanship Teams.

For women’s cross country, Valentine Degiovanni, a freshman from Nice, France, captured first team all-conference honors, while teammates Emilia Churchill, a freshman from Washburn, and Irina Norkin, a freshman from Denmark, Maine, made the second team. Chenoa Jackson, a senior from Wilton, was UMPI’s representative on the Sportsmanship Team.
