NEWTOWN, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College women's ice hockey team was presented with postseason awards from the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) on Friday, March 6, as the conference office announced the All-MAC Women's Ice Hockey Team and the major award winners. Junior goaltender Mia Frisoni was named the conference's Defensive Player of the Year and earned a spot on the All-MAC First Team, and junior forward Anna Dale was selected to the Second Team.
Frisoni was presented with All-Conference honors for the third time in her career, as she was recognized by the MAC in each of the last two seasons. The goaltender also became the third player in program history to be named a MAC Defensive Player of the Year, and she is the first to receive the award since Shelby Guinard '23 in 2020-21. All three of LVC's Defensive Player of the Year award winners have been goalies. This winter, Frisoni recorded 530 saves, 27.89 saves per game, a .938 save percentage, a 1.89 goals-against average, a single-season program record of 13 wins, a .722 winning percentage, and five shutouts. Frisoni also tied her own single-season program record for shutouts. The junior was ranked second in save percentage, second in shutouts, second in winning percentage, second in goals-against average, and fourth in saves in the MAC during the regular season. The goalie came through with several big games for the Dutchmen during the campaign, including when she logged 35 saves during the 4-3 overtime victory at No. 15 Wilkes University on Nov. 14, 2025. Frisoni also made a season-high 47 saves in a 4-2 defeat at Wilkes on Nov. 15, 2025. The goaltender was honored for her production during the season, as she was chosen as the MAC Defensive Player of the Week five times this winter.
Dale received All-MAC accolades for the third time in her career as well, earning a spot on the team in the previous two seasons. The forward was also selected as the conference's Offensive Player of the Year in 2024-25. This season, Dale led Lebanon Valley with 34 points, 18 goals, and five game-winning goals. She tied her own single-season program record for game-winning goals, which was set last year. The junior also recorded 16 assists, one short-handed goal, and two power-play goals. In the conference during the regular season, the forward ranked tied for second in goals, tied for second in game-winning goals, tied for second in goals per game, tied for third in short-handed goals, fourth in points, fourth in points per game, tied for fourth in assists, and tied for fifth in assists per game. Dale delivered multiple impactful performances during the campaign, including when she tied a season-high four points with a season-high three goals and an assist while blocking a shot in LVC's 10-0 win over King's College on Jan. 10. The team's offensive clinic set a single-game program record for goals in a game. The junior also netted the game-winning goal in overtime and blocked a shot during Lebanon Valley's thrilling victory at 15th-ranked Wilkes. Dale was recognized for her contributions during the campaign, being listed as the MAC Ice Hockey Offensive Player of the Week twice this year.
