These three forwards broke records and were the backbone of their offensive lines, posting impressive point totals while playing critical roles in their teams' success this season.

Princeton’s Issy Wunder tallied 17 goals and 11 assists to finish the season with 26 points, serving as a driving force behind Princeton’s offense. Wunder scored the overtime game-winner against the Brown Bears, helping secure the Tigers’ first ever ECAC Hockey regular season championship.

Sara Manness delivered a standout rookie campaign for the Clarkson Golden Knights, becoming the first player in program history to score a goal in ten consecutive games in a single season. Manness ranked first on the team in goals (15), and points (34), and tied for second in assists (19). The rookie forward averaged an impressive 1.55 points per game, consistently making an impact.

Junior forward Kahlen Lamarche was instrumental for the Quinnipiac Bobcats, leading both her team and the conference in goals (20) as well as leading the Bobcats in points (29). Lamarche’s 35 overall goals this season broke Quinnipiac’s single-season scoring record, surpassing former record-holder Kelly Babstock, whose mark had stood for 15 years.

Turning to the blue line, Boyle and Manness were impactful to their respective teams' defensive efforts.

Freshman defender Molly Boyle earned First Team honors after a 28-point season with the Yale Bulldogs. Boyle blocked 23 shots and averaged nearly one assist per game, leading both her team and the ECAC with 20 assists.

Joining her sister, Kate Manness stood out on the blue line for Clarkson. She led the Golden Knights in blocked shots (25) and tied for third in the ECAC in assists (18). Her 46 shots on goal contributed to a 23-point season across 22 games for the freshman defender.

Rounding out the team is sophomore netminder Felicia Frank. Frank led the league in goals-against average (1.31), total saves (545), shutouts (6), and save percentage (.949), anchoring the Bobcats’ defense with one of the most dominant goaltending performances in the conference this season.
