Freshman forward Alessia Salierno and sophomore midfielder Grace Hogan earned First Team All-Conference honors, while sophomore defender/midfielder Brooke Naylor and sophomore defender Maggie VanDyke were named to the Second Team All-Conference.

Salierno, a freshman from Catskill and graduate of Catskill High School, made an immediate impact for the Vikings, leading the team with 11 goals and 3 assists for 25 points. In conference play, she tallied 4 goals and 8 points, including two game-winners. Her pace, finishing ability, and knack for producing in key moments made her one of the top offensive players in the region.

A consistent offensive contributor, Hogan started all 13 games, recording 8 goals and 3 assists for 19 total points.

She appeared in 13 games (12 starts), contributing 5 goals and 1 assist for 11 points, while maintaining a .357 shooting percentage. Her ability to play multiple roles—both defensively and in attack—made her one of the most versatile players on the field.

VanDyke, a sophomore from Schenectady and Colonie High School, rounded out the Viking honorees with Second Team All-Conference recognition. Starting all 13 games, she anchored Hudson Valley's defense, adding 1 assist and helping the Vikings maintain stability and structure in the back line.
