Wilkes Field Hockey Lands Five All-Conference Selections; Karp, Keppel Selected to First Team

TOWSON, Md. – Sophomores Maddie Karp (Pittston, PA/Pittston Area) and Lydia Keppel (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall) have been selected to the 2026 Landmark All-Conference Field Hockey teams, and five Colonels received All-Conference honors, as announced by the conference Wednesday afternoon.

In addition to Karp and Keppel, senior Emma Dengler (Harrisburg, PA/Central Dauphin East), junior goalkeeper Chloe Gilroy (Manchester, NH/Pace University), and sophomore Sage Morgan (Dallas, PA/Lake Lehman) were selected to the All-Conference Second Team.

Karp was named an All-Landmark First Team forward, leading Wilkes with 27 points across eight goals and 11 assists. Karp's 11 assists ranked second in the Landmark, with seven coming in conference play.

Keppel was nominated as an All-Landmark First Team defender, recording two goals and two assists while helping anchor a Colonels' back line that only allowed five goals in Landmark play. Five of Keppel's six points came in a win over Oswego State, and she added an assist in a win over Lycoming.

Dengler was selected as an All-Landmark Second Team defender after starting 18 games in her senior season. Dengler finished the season with eight saves, which led all Landmark defenders. The senior concludes her career with 12 defensive saves, ranking fourth in Wilkes history.

Gilroy was named as the All-Landmark Second Team goalkeeper for the second straight season. Gilroy posted a 10-8 record in 18 starts, stopping 115 shots on the season. The junior's .821 save percentage and five shutouts both rank second in the Landmark.

Morgan was selected as an All-Landmark Second Team midfielder, after scoring eight goals in 2026, including five in Landmark play. Morgan also added four assists and three game-winning goals while starting all 19 games.
