INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Quincy University women's lacrosse team capped off its 2026 campaign with a historic showing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference postseason awards, placing five student-athletes on the All-Conference teams.

It marks just the third time in program history the Hawks have had five or more All-Conference selections, further signaling the continued growth and success of the program.

Leading the way, Mikenna Ham was named First Team All-Conference in addition to earning GLVC Defensive Player of the Year honors. A four-time All-Conference selection, this season marks her first appearance on the First Team after previously earning honorable mention as a freshman and sophomore and Second Team honors as a junior. She becomes just the fourth player in program history to earn First Team recognition.

Mikenna Ham turned in a dominant season defensively, starting all 17 games while leading the GLVC in both ground balls (50, 2.94/game) and caused turnovers (47, 2.76/game). In conference-only contests, she was even more dominant, totaling 24 ground balls (3.43/game) and 19 caused turnovers (2.71/game), both top marks in the league. Nationally, she ranked 11th in Division II in caused turnovers per game and eighth in total caused turnovers. Ham also set new program single-season records in total caused turnovers and caused turnovers per game, anchoring a Quincy defense that broke team records in caused turnovers and ground balls.

Joining her on the All-Conference list, Amelia Ham earned Second Team honors for the second consecutive season, marking her third career All-Conference selection. The senior attacker once again proved to be one of the most dynamic offensive players in the GLVC, starting 16 games and leading the Hawks with 77 points on 45 goals and 32 assists. Her 32 assists fell just one shy of her own single-season program record.

Amelia Ham closed her career in historic fashion, surpassing Danielle Robinson for the program's all-time points record, finishing with 264 career points. She ranked among the GLVC's best all season, placing in the top five in assists, assists per game, points, and points per game, while also ranking in the top ten in goals and goals per game. Alongside her sister, she leaves a lasting legacy as one of the top players to ever wear a Quincy uniform.

Emily Leal added to the Hawks' strong showing with a Second Team All-Conference selection, earning the first postseason honor of her career. The midfielder started all 17 games and delivered one of the most complete seasons on the roster. She finished with 25 goals and 16 assists for 41 points, ranking fourth on the team in scoring.

Leal was a force across all areas of the field, totaling 47 draw controls, 32 ground balls, and 31 caused turnovers. Her caused turnover total would have set a new program single-season record in most years, as she finished second in the GLVC with 1.82 caused turnovers per game. Her all-around impact made her a key contributor on both ends of the field throughout the season.

The Hawks also saw two players earn Honorable Mention All-Conference recognition in Alaina Wilkinson and Jenna Lang.

Wilkinson put together a breakout season, starting all 17 games while leading the team with 48 goals and finishing second with 74 points. She also added 27 assists, 24 ground balls, and 10 caused turnovers. Wilkinson ranked among the GLVC leaders in multiple offensive categories, finishing in the top ten in assists, assists per game, free position percentage, goals, goals per game, points, and points per game.

Lang played a vital role in Quincy's defensive unit, appearing in all 17 games with 14 starts. She totaled 27 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers while adding a goal and a draw control. Her steady presence helped anchor a defense that set new program standards throughout the season.

In addition to the All-Conference selections, Chloe Kerwin was named the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award recipient, recognizing her commitment to integrity, respect, and leadership on and off the field.

With a record-setting defensive unit, elite individual performances, and a historic presence on the All-Conference teams, the Hawks continue to build a strong foundation for the future of Quincy women's lacrosse.
