WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Following a record-setting season, the Lycoming College women's soccer team was picked to finish third in the Landmark Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll, the conference office announced on Wednesday, August 26.

Six-time defending champion Scranton was unanimously picked to finish at the top once again, garnering 81 points and nine first-place votes, with last year's runner-up, Catholic, earning 70 points. Lycoming was close behind in third with 67 points, with Susquehanna (54 points) and Elizabethtown (50 points) rounding out the top half. Drew (36 points), Moravian (33 points), Wilkes (31 points), Juniata (19 points), and Goucher (9 points) form the bottom half of the poll.

In 2025, Lycoming rode a record 12-0 start to a 17-2-1 campaign, finishing second in the Landmark with a 7-1-1 mark, suffering its only two losses at the hands of the two teams that met in the Landmark title game: Catholic and Scranton. The Warriors set school records for wins, conference wins and goals (76), leading the league in scoring (3.80 goals/game), scoring margin (2.80 goals/game), shots (386), and corners (147), while also finishing third in saves (101) and second in save percentage (.833).

In his tenth year at the helm, head coach Kenny Fern welcomes back three all-conference players from a year ago: senior strikers Mikayla Long and Ella Magee, plus senior defender Norah Mosley. Magee led the Landmark in goals (16), assists (13), and points (45) in the highest-scoring season in school history, while Long tied for second in the conference in goals (10) and points (25). Mosley finished second in the Landmark in assists (8) and added seven goals as well.
