Rhodes College made a strong statement in the 2026 Southern Athletic Association Women's Lacrosse postseason honors, highlighted by multiple major individual awards, positional honors, and a deep list of All-Conference selections. 

Leading the way for the Lynx was junior Daryn Raleigh, who was named the SAA Defensive Athlete of the Year after anchoring one of the conference's most disruptive defensive units. Raleigh's consistency and presence on the back end helped define Rhodes' identity throughout the season.

In the midfield, senior Sam Horowitz was named Midfielder of the Year following a dynamic campaign that showcased Horowitz's two-way impact and steady production in key conference matchups.

Rhodes also saw immediate impact from its roster across the board, including Sadie McRae, who was named Rookie of the Year after emerging as one of the league's most productive first-year players and a key piece of the Lynx attack.

In goal, freshman Annabelle Kinzel was named Co-Goalkeeper of the Year after a strong season between the pipes, consistently elevating her team in conference play.

The Lynx also earned Coaching Staff of the Year honors, recognizing the leadership of Ellison Sherrill and her staff in guiding Rhodes through a standout season filled with conference success and postseason recognition.

Rhodes was heavily represented on the First Team All-Conference selections. Caroline Kardian, Payton Stevens, and Sadie McRae earned First Team honors at attack, while Sam Horowitz was recognized at midfield and also named to the All-Sportsmanship Team. On defense, Daryn Raleigh was joined by Rory Monahan in earning First Team honors, and Annabelle Kinzel was selected First Team goalkeeper following a standout season.

Rhodes continued its strong showing on the Second Team All-Conference list, with Delaney O'Mailey and Maddie BeVier earning recognition at attack and midfield, respectively.

With major award winners, All-Conference standouts at every level, and Coaching Staff of the Year honors, Rhodes capped one of its most successful SAA seasons heading into postseason play.
