CHESTERTOWN — Maintaining a 4.0 grade point average as a double major in biology and environmental science, Washington College’s MaryCate Anson is the Centennial Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year for field hockey.
A senior midfielder from Newark, Delaware, Anson shares the honor with Johns Hopkins senior forward Megan Chang of Houston, Texas and Muhlenberg senior forward Erin DiSandro of Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
The scholar-athlete of the year is the All-Centennial performer with junior or senior standing who has the highest cumulative grade point average.
Anson also was the 2025 scholar-athlete of the year in women’s lacrosse.
In voting this fall by the Centennial Conference’s 11 head field hockey coaches, Anson was placed on the second team. She started all 18 games for the 5-13 Shore ladies, and led them in goals (9), assists (7) and points (25).
Anson and eight other Washington fall athletes earned Academic All-Centennial distinction by being named an all-conference performer and qualifying for the Academic Honor Roll in the same season.
Academic Honor Roll student-athletes have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.40 on a 4.0 scale. Freshmen are not eligible.
Anson earned Academic All-Centennial recognition for the third straight year.
Three members of Washington’s women’s soccer team earned Academic All-Centennial honors, all for the second time: juniors Olivia Allen of West Pittston, Pennsylvania (biochemistry, molecular biology), Kaileigh Brady of Hockessin, Delaware (human development) and Sophie Kilbride of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania (English). Brady and Kilbride were All-Centennial second-team picks, while Allen earned honorable mention.
Four members of the men’s soccer team earned Academic All-Centennial honors: senior Tyler Davidson of Medford, New Jersey (business administration); senior Ryan Sharpley of Medford, New Jersey (engineering); junior Tucker Sprano of Annandale, Virginia (sociology, Spanish); and sophomore Hannes Budde of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania (business, pre-med). Davidson, placed on the elite first team, and Sharpley, earning honorable mention, are two-time Academic All-Centennial performers. Sprano, placed on the second team, and honorable mention Budde qualify for Academic All-Centennial recognition for the first time.
Volleyball player Anna Titter, a junior from York, Pennsylvania, meets the Academic All-Centennial criteria for the first time after receiving honorable mention in all-star voting. She is majoring in human development.
