Gable played in all 17 games for the Saints in 2025 and recorded a team-best 32 caused turnovers and 50 ground balls leading the defensive core. She ranked second in the Liberty League with 1.88 caused turnovers per game and fifth with 2.94 ground balls per game.
Ley also played in all 17 games and recorded 24 goals and five assists for 29 points on the season, good for second on the Saints' squad. She scored three free-position goals, picked up 22 ground balls, caused 13 turnovers and won a team-best 49 draw controls. She recorded her 100th career point against Ithaca on April 5.
LaPlaca played in 15 games and led the Scarlet and Brown with 36 goals and 14 assists for 50 points this season. She scored six free-position goals, one game winner, picked up 19 ground balls, caused 13 turnovers and won 10 draw controls.

St. Lawrence continued to play a high strength of schedule in 2025, facing No. 8 Wesleyan and No. 1 Middlebury in non-conference play and No. 10 William Smith and No. 19 Ithaca on their conference slate.
The Saints and Ryan picked up their first win against SUNY Canton on March 4, and after a loss to Wesleyan and an early league loss to RPI, the Scarlet and Brown rebounded with an impressive 7-2 win over Dickinson and a 11-6 conference win over Vassar on the road.
St. Lawrence posted Liberty League wins over Bard, Rochester, Skidmore and Clarkson down the stretch and despite falling to RIT to close out the regular season, the Saints secured the sixth seed in the first round of the Liberty League Tournament. With the Tigers posting a 13-9 win, just three days prior, the Saints battled hard and forced overtime against RIT, but ultimately fell to the Tigers on a free-position opportunity.
"I was proud of the team," said Ryan. "They showed up every day and worked hard. They overcame adversity and a challenging schedule to put together some memorable comebacks and statement wins. They never gave up and fought to the end. To stay positive in the face of disappointment and to show up the next day ready to get better speaks to their dedication and commitment to being their best. They played with passion for something greater than themselves and never took for granted the opportunity to play with their teammates."
Â
"Our resiliency was tested from day one with weather conditions, turf issues, bus delays and a challenging schedule. It's easy to make excuses or point fingers. We stayed positive and battled through. The captains and leaders left their mark on our team culture with their attention to detail and work ethic. Their welcoming demeanor and supportive nature created an atmosphere we all wanted to be a part of."
