↑ Post – Congratulations to the Eagles, who got their first-ever program win over a non-conference Division I school with a 2-1 victory over Robert Morris on Saturday. Jodie Rose scored the game-winner and Alex Young made 48 saves in the win.

↓ Wisconsin G Ava McNaughton – The 2026 gold medalist and 2025 HCA Goalie of the Year left the Badgers' first game of the season midway through the second period with an apparent hip injury. Rhyah Stewart served UW well while McNaughton was in Milan, but they certainly expected to have McNaughton anchoring their team as they figured things out this season.

↑ Taylor Porthan – The junior is on her third team after playing in a total of ten games at UConn and Providence before ending up closer to home at St. Thomas this season. Listed as a defender on the Tommies' website, she was on the linesheets as the fourth line center this past weekend and she scored her first collegiate goal on Friday.

↓ UConn – The Huskies went into the weekend ranked #7 and after losing a pair of games to unranked St. Cloud State, dropped to #12 in Monday's new poll.

↑ Union's Maddie Leaney – The senior forward had a goal and an assist on Friday giving her 71 points and moving her into first place as the all-time program leader in career points
