WINTHROP, Mass. - Seven women's soccer players were named to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) all-conference teams, as announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon. The selections for the GNAC first-team are senior Paige Letourneau, sophomore Carla Andreu Panighi, and senior Ciara Horan. The GNAC third-team selections are sophomore Abby Chambers, junior Teigan Robie and sophomore Grace Foster. Emmanuel's lone selection on the all-sportsmanship team is senior Adriana Melaragno.
 
Paige Letourneau is back on the GNAC first-team for the second year in a row. The Prospect, Connecticut native tallied nine goals and five assists during her senior campaign, leading the team in goals and shots on goal. Once again proving to be an offensive weapon for the Saints, Letourneau tallied 26 total goals and 11 assists in her two years at Emmanuel.
 
Carla Andreu Panighi was also awarded a spot on the first-team in just her sophomore season. Panighi proved to be one of Emmanuel's most improved players, taking on a bigger role with the team and excelling all year long from the midfield position. The Belgium native tallied six goals and three assists on the season, and also recorded over 1000 minutes of playing time.
 
The final first-team representative from the Saints is senior captain Ciara Horan. Horan finally broke through onto the first team, after being placed on the second and third team in prior seasons. A four year player in the Saints program, the Braintree native started in 67 of her 69 games played in, eventually becoming the leader of an Emmanuel defense that produced nine shutouts in her final campaign.

Abby Chambers locked in her first all-conference team, earning a spot on the third team. Chambers proved to be one of the Saints who would be thrusted into a bigger role this season, becoming a full time starter and thriving for the blue and gold. Chambers finished her second campaign with four goals and five assists, nearly doubling both outputs from her first campaign.
 
Goalkeeper Teigan Robie was also named to the third-team, her first career selection. Robie was really tested this year, making 81 saves, more than doubling that number from the prior year. The Southbury, Connecticut native tallied a .717 save percentage on the year, and also recorded the first two collegiate goals of her career in her third season.
 
The Saints final third-team representative is second year forward Grace Foster. Foster became a full time starter in the 2026 season, and the results speak for themselves, tallying career-highs in nearly every statistical category. Foster tallied two more goals (7) then her rookie campaign, while also playing in three less games, as well as recording one assist and 24 shots on goal.
 
Emmanuel's sole sportsmanship team representative is senior Adriana Melaragno. The fourth year defender made a career-high nine starts in her final season, while also tallying a goal and an assist.
 
The women's soccer season unfortunately came to an end this past Saturday, losing in the GNAC Quarterfinals to Norwich, in what was otherwise an impressive first season for head coach Erinn Ring's squad.
