PITMAN, N.J. - A program-record eight members of the TCNJ women's soccer team received All-NJAC honors, as announced by the conference this morning. The Lions posted a league-best five First Team selections along with one Second Teamer and two Honorable Mentions, tying top-seeded Rowan for the most overall honorees in the NJAC.
 
Jenny Ward enjoyed a breakout junior campaign en route to her maiden All-Conference First Team nod. Starting all nine NJAC games, the junior finished first in the NJAC in goals (10) and second in points (23), both of which are easily career-best marks. Ward was the only player in the conference to register at least one point against every NJAC opponent, and ended the regular season with a six-game goal streak. Her season-long run of 10 straight games with a goal and/or assist is the program's longest since 2016.
 
Alyssa Alfano earned a second consecutive First Team selection following a strong senior season during which she led the Lions in assists (5) and ranked second in goals (4) in conference play. Alfano's five helpers placed her second in the NJAC behind only Offensive Player of the Year, Sara Wiedeman, and pushed the senior's career-long total to 28 to put her in sole possession of sixth on TCNJ's all-time list.
 
Isabella Charles made the well-deserved jump to the First Team after garnering Second Team honors a season ago. The sophomore appeared in all nine games – her lone appearance off the bench coming on the Lions' Senior Day – as part of the TCNJ's three-woman backline, helping the Lions rank second in the conference in goals allowed average (0.67) while adding two assists on the offensive end.
 
Caroline Freer is also a first-time First Team honoree in her final season in Ewing after tallying two goals and three assists across seven NJAC games. The senior carries a three-game point streak into the postseason, having scored the game-winning goal in TCNJ's win over New Paltz before registering in assists in each of the Lions' last two wins in which she appeared.
 
Maggie Murphy rounds out TCNJ's First Team selections, finishing conference play with three goals and two assists en route to her first such recognition. The junior assisted on the game-winning goal in the Lions' pivotal 2-1 win over Montclair State, adding scores against Rutgers-Newark, William Paterson and Rutgers-Camden.
 
Isabella Daley followed in the footsteps of Charles with a Second Team selection following an impressive rookie season. The freshman started all nine conference games at center back for TCNJ, playing a team-high 736 minutes to lead the Lions to their 0.67 goals against average.

Elaina Williams completes the trifecta for TCNJ's stout backline, earning the first postseason recognition of her career with an Honorable Mention nod. The junior was one of five players to start all nine conference games for the Lions, ranking second among field players in minutes (690) while adding a goal – the game-winner – in TCNJ's win over Montclair State that helped them secure the No. 2 seed in the NJAC Tournament.
 
Ellen Williams is the Lions' record-breaking eighth honoree after landing on the conference's Honorable Mention list. The junior finished the season ranked third in the conference in goals against average (0.77) while posting five total shutouts – two solo and three combined – across nine starts. Her .809 save percentage on the entire season is the best of her career, with Williams surpassing 40 career wins in 2026 despite being in the midst of just her junior season.
