All-CC Women's Soccer: Gizzie Repeats as Offensive Player of the Year

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Swarthmore's Ava Gizzie repeated as Offensive Player of the Year to lead the 2026 All-Centennial Conference Women's Soccer Team while Dickinson's Joelle Ma, McDaniel's Hariette Ngwatung and the Johns Hopkins coaching staff also claimed major awards. 

Gizzie, a senior forward for Swarthmore, earned top offensive honors for the second straight season. Gizzie leads the CC in goals (10) and is tied for the lead in points (20) with a pair of game-winning goals on the year. Now a four-time first team All-Centennial selection, Gizzie is one of just 12 players in conference history to hold that distinction. The Garnet standout is the sixth player in CC history to win multiple Player of the Year awards. 

Ma, a sophomore defender for the Red Devils, was named Defensive Player of the Year. Ma has been an all-around force for Dickinson this season, helping the Red Devil defense hold its opponents to just 10 goals in 21 games while also contributing five goals and a conference-leading eight assists on the offensive end of the field. Ma is the second straight Dickinson player to win Defensive Player of the Year, and the sixth overall Red Devil to receive Player of the Year honors. 

Ngwatung, a freshman forward for the Green Terror, secured Rookie of the Year accolades. Ngwatung made her presence immediately felt with seven goals (t-4th CC), five assists (t-2nd), 19 points (t-3rd) and four game-winning goals (t-1st) this season, ranking in the top four in the conference in each category. Ngwatung is the first McDaniel player to be named Rookie of the Year in the 14-year existence of the award. She was also named to the All-CC first team, becoming the 34th freshman in conference to accomplish that feat. 

The Johns Hopkins coaching staff received Coaching Staff of the Year honors. Head coach Dan Weiler and assistants Justin Flack, Kobe Crone and Carly Wetzel guided the Blue Jays to a 15-1-2 overall record, a 9-1 mark in CC play, the program's fifth consecutive conference title and another trip to the upcoming NCAA postseason. 

Swarthmore led all teams with eight All-Centennial honorees, including four on the first team. Dickinson and Hopkins each secured six all-star spots, followed by F&M wiith five and McDaniel with four. 

Sixteen players claimed All-CC status for at least the second time in their careers, including two four-time selections and seven three-time picks. Joining Gizzie as a four-time all-star was F&M senior defender Colleen Ferrarese, who earned second team accolades in 2025, first team honors in 2024 and was honorable mention in 2023. Now three-time all-conference players include the Swarthmore trio of junior defender Aminah Evans, junior midfielder Celia Kanellakos and senior forward Charlotte Carleton, the Washington College duo of senior midfielder Kaileigh Brady and senior forward Sophie Kilbride, Dickinson senior defender Bridget Merkel and McDaniel senior defender Alexis Keller-Posen. 

Johns Hopkins leads the all-time list of first team all-conference selections with 84. Gettysburg (52) is second, while Swarthmore is third (48) followed by Dickinson (37), McDaniel (36), Muhlenberg (34), Franklin & Marshall (28), Haverford (27), Ursinus (6) and Bryn Mawr (4).
