Mallen, a finance graduate, earned her first Academic All-District team selection for the Bears. Mallen had a historic individual season for the Bears by being named the Centennial Conference Player of the Year and garnering NFHCA All-Region honors, the first for an Ursinus player since 2013. She set the Ursinus single-season hits, stolen bases, and runs scored record while also retaking the Centennial Conference single-season stolen base record. She became the first player in Ursinus program history to record 200+ hits for her career and now owns the Bears career hits, stolen bases, and runs scored program record. She added her second straight First Team All-Centennial selection as well. Mallen posted a career best .462 batting average that ranked third in the Centennial Conference and led the Centennial with 67 hits after the regular season. She ranked second in the Centennial with 49 runs scored and swiped 48 bases that also ranks third in all of NCAA Division III.
An environmental studies graduate, Wichman was one of two Bears to repeat an Academic All-District honor. Wichman ranked fourth on the team with a .302 batting average in 2025 while tying for fourth with 39 hits. She tied for the team lead and second in the Centennial Conference with 12 doubles and tied for third on the team with 17 RBI's while hitting one home run. Wichman also made seven appearances in the circle as well and tallied a 1.24 ERA with four saves while striking out two batters in 11.1 innings of work.
A biochemistry and molecular biology major, Andrusiewicz also repeated Academic All-District honor. She posted a team-low 2.94 ERA that was also eighth-lowest in the Centennial and ranked second on the team with nine wins that tied for sixth in the Centennial. She ranked third in the Centennial with 112 innings pitched and had 34 strikeouts to just 13 walks. Andrusiewicz tied for second in the Centennial with 11 complete games and tossed one complete game shutout. She took home her third straight All-Centennial nod and second straight on the honorable mention team.
A business economics major, Hancock appeared and started in 41 games for the Bears in right field after transferring into Ursinus prior to the start of the school year. Hancock batted .237 behind tallying 28 hits and tied for third on the team with eight doubles. She posted 17 RBI's and hit a pair of grand slams for Ursinus in 2025.
