All-CC Field Hockey: F&M's Hoover Repeats as Offensive Player of the Year

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Franklin & Marshall's Caitlin Hoover repeated as Offensive Player of the Year to headline the 2026 All-Centennial Field Hockey team. Ursinus' Rachel Fosbenner, Swarthmore's Josie Sarno and the Swarthmore and Ursinus coaching staffs also collected major awards. 

Hoover, a senior forward for the Diplomats, has now earned back-to-back Offensive Player of the Year awards. Hoover leads the Centennial in goals (20) and is tied for the lead in points (41). On the national level, Hoover ranks tied for 13th in goals per game (1.11). She becomes the seventh player in conference history to receive multiple Player of the Year honors and the second from F&M (Erin Coverdale, 2017-18). 

Fosbenner, a senior defender for the Bears, was tabbed as Defensive Player of the Year. Fosbenner leads an Ursinus defense that has allowed an average of 1.21 goals per game throughh 19 contests this season. She also contributed three assists on the offensive end of the field. Fosbenner is the second Bear to win Defensive Player of the Year along with Maeve Montgomery (2024). 

Sarno, a freshman goalkeeper for the Garnet, becomes the third straight Swarthmore player to be named Rookie of the Year. Sarno has started all 19 games between the pipes for the Garnet, posting a 1.26 goals against average and .809 save percentage with seven shutouts while averaging 5.58 saves per game. Sarno is tied for the conference lead in shutouts, ranks second in save percentage, and third in saves per game. 

The Swarthmore and Ursinus coaching staffs tied for top honors in Coaching Staff of the Year voting. Swarthmore head coach Hannah Harris and assistant coaches Aimee MacFarland, Emma Leppert, Tara Hausker and Hannah Richard have guided the Garnet to a 12-7 overall record that included a 7-3 mark in conference play. The Garnet advanced to the CC title game for the third time in program history and will make their second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance this week. This marks the first-ever CC coaching honor for Swarthmore since the award was implemented in 2008. 

Ursinus head coach Janelle Benner and assistants Mary Lauren Franz, Danielle Neal, Addie Plummer, Heather Long, Aliki Torrence and Maeve Montgomery have led the Bears to a 14-5 overall record, a 7-3 mark in CC play, a trip to the CC semifinals and the program's 15th appearance in the NCAA postseason. The marks the third CC coaching award for Benner and her staff (also in 2024 & 2014). 

Fifteen players received All-Centennial accolades for at least the second time in their careers, including one four-time all-star and seven three-time selections. Ursinus senior forward Marie Brainard became a four-time All-CC pick, securing first team honors for the first time in her career after back-to-back years as a second-teamer following honorable mention accolades as a freshman in 2023. Earning All-Centennial awards for the third time in their careers were Hoover, Johns Hopkins senior goalkeeper Aubrey Kilgore, F&M senior goalkeeper Meghan Dole, F&M junior midfielder Megan Dadio, Swarthmore junior midfielder Kayla Fink, Dickinson senior forward/midfielder Nicole Uebele and Haverford senior forward Erica Pardón.
