A Strong Fall Season for Scranton Athletics

The University of Scranton’s fall athletics programs delivered one of the most successful semesters in school history, highlighted by conference championships, national accolades and milestone postseason achievements across multiple teams.

Women’s soccer secured its sixth straight Landmark Conference title behind one of the league’s most balanced lineups and a standout defensive unit, and the Royals were anchored by All-American Aileen Carr ’28.

Men’s soccer won the program’s first NCAA Tournament game since 2016 and produced one of the best defensive seasons in Division III history, leading the nation in goals-against average (0.20) and total goals allowed (four). The Royals were also powered by two All-Americans, Logan Campbell ’25, G’26 and Charlie Smith ’26.

Field hockey captured the Landmark Conference Championship and went undefeated in conference play for the first time in program history. Senior forward Annie Shaw ’26 earned All-American honors after leading the team in goals.

Volleyball added to the department-wide momentum with a Landmark runner-up finish and an All-American campaign from Deanna Whelply ’26, who established herself as one of the most dominant attackers in the nation.

Cross country delivered strong postseason performances on both sides, with Emily Hopkins ’26 and Brayden Clarke ’28 earning All-Region honors to cap their standout seasons.

Across the board, Scranton’s fall programs combined championship success, national recognition, and historic statistical achievements, cementing the 2025 season as one of the most complete and decorated in Royal athletics history.
