Ellie Shahbo '23 garnered a spot on the All-America Second Team.
One of the Crimson's team captains this season, Chapple adds All-America honors to an already stellar career resume. A four-time All-Ivy League selection and three-time NFHCA Northeast All-Region honoree, Chapple has run the midfield for the Crimson over the last four years, making an impact both offensively and defensively. A native of Somerset, England, Chapple posted 35 points across 77 career appearances, as Chapple also started in all 77 of the Crimson's matches since 2022.

Harvard's first Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year winner since 2019, Piekarski takes All-America honors for the first time after leading Harvard and the Ivy League in scoring with 16 goals. The Crimson's leader with 36 points, Piekarski tallied multiple goals in four different contests, highlighted by a hat trick against New Hampshire in the NCAA Tournament First Round, the first for a Crimson in the NCAA Tournament. A native of Concord, Massachusetts, Piekarski's 16 goals is tied for third all-time in school history for goals in a single season.
