TOWSON, Md. -- The Elizabethtown College women's soccer team had three players named All-Landmark Conference on Tuesday.
Linnet Laiser,
Sophia Hogan, and
Ella Fasnacht drew the honors for the Blue Jays.
Laiser was named Second Team and the Landmark Rookie of the Year. She earns Rookie of the Year honors following a standout debut season in 2026. Laiser made an immediate impact on the Blue Jays' attack, leading the team with six goals, two assists, and 14 points across 18 appearances, including 17 starts. She also recorded three game-winning goals and led the conference with 10 points in Landmark play, establishing herself as one of the league's most promising young offensive talents. Laiser's breakout performance came in a commanding 7-1 victory over Goucher, where she recorded her first career hat trick and added two assists for a conference single-game high of eight points, earning Landmark Conference Offensive Athlete of the Week honors. She also delivered the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Stevenson and helped Elizabethtown secure the No. 5 seed in the Landmark Conference Tournament. Laiser is the first Blue Jay women's soccer student-athlete since 2019 to be named Rookie of the Year, joining Trinity Soto.
Hogan did a lot of the dirty work in the midfield for the Blue Jays throughout the season. While it didn't turn itself into much that would show up statistically, the sophomore was an important cog in the Etown midfield machine. She did assist on the the game-winning goal in a home 1-0 win over Juniata on October 7. Hogan also had a career-high five points in the regular season home finale against Goucher on October 24. She scored once and had three assists to tie for third in program history in single-game assists. Hogan is the first player since Kendra Mancino to register three assists in a game in 13 years. She was named to the Second Team midfield, her first all-conference honor.
Fasnacht played in all 18 games for Elizabethtown and made 17 starts in the center of the backline for first-year head coach
Ryan Sipe. She was a part of a defense that recorded five shutouts on the season. The Blue Jays blanked DeSales and Stevenson in back-to-back games in early September. Etown did not concede at Penn State Berks on September 19 and had consecutive Landmark Conference shutout at Susquehanna on October 3 and at home in the Juniata win on October 7. Fasnacht was named an Honorable Mention on defense, the first all-conference honor of her career.
