After earning three all-conference honors and breaking the program's single-season strikeout record, Eiswerth's graduation leaves an ace-sized hole in the circle. Junior Kendall McAnelly does return after she went 3-6 with a 3.25 ERA in 15 games (13 starts), spinning a pair of complete games and working 69.0 innings, all second-most on the squad to Eiswerth.

Sophomores Jocelyn McCracken (2-1, 5.25) and Serenity Snyder (1-0, 6.60) will both have opportunities for an expanded role after they both worked out of the bullpen a season ago.

First-years Isabelle Engel and Destiny Novashinski will compete will time in the circle, as will decorated four-sport athlete Sage Smeltz, who won 45 games and struck out over 400 batters in a stellar high school career.

With the loss of Daub to graduation, after four years as the team's starting catcher, sophomore Ashley Forrest is set to take over behind the plate after starting all but one game a year ago, primarily as a designated player. In her first season, Forrest slashed .237/.301/.329 with four doubles, a homer, and five RBI.

Senior Sophia Lerner is primed to spell Forrest behind the plate.

The infield contains the most experienced position group on the diamond as the Warriors return every infielder from 2025, including all four starters and a quartet of seniors.

Senior Hailee Sobieski mans the hot corner after a breakout junior season in which she started all 29 games and slashed .338/.417/.450 with six doubles, a home run and 14 RBI. Fellow senior Claire Alexander, who has started every game of her collegiate career, is back at shortstop and the top of the order after slashing .323/.373/.387 with four doubles, a triple, and five RBI, while going a perfect 10-for-10 in stolen bases and scoring a team-high 24 runs. She also enters her senior year already with 100 career hits and 36 from the school record.

Two more seniors are expected to man the right side of the infield, with second baseman Alex Eckerson back after hitting .227 and scoring 13 runs a season ago, while Kristen George is also a four-year starter at first base. She collected nine hits and drove in six runs in 2025.

Junior Abby Becker will look for time on the infield in her second season with the program. First year Sage Smeltz, owner a .458 average and 10 home runs in her high school career, will vie for at-bats when not in the circle, as will fellow first-year two-way players Isabelle Engel and Destiny Novashinski.

The outfield will be headlined by sophomore Jocelyn McCracken, who slashed .369/.384/.429 with a team-high 31 hits, to go along with three doubles, a triple, and 11 RBI, while striking out just four times in 86 plate appearances and capably manning both corner outfield spots.

Senior Mallory Rodarmel is back after serving as the primary center fielder a season ago, slashing .294/.333/.376 with 25 hits, a double, two homers, and 11 RBI, in addition to five stolen bases. When not in the circle, junior Kendall McAnelly will see some time in the corner outfield spots, where she went 2-for-8 with a run scored a season ago. Junior Lauren Miller and sophomore Serenity Snyder are also back in the fold after seeing time in the outfield as well.

A trio of first-years will also compete for at-bats: Gabrielle Von Stein, Patricia Williams, and Sage Lorson, a member of South Williamsport's state finalist team in 2025.
