Doogan earns Top Award, First Team and All-Academic honors as Ullstrom and Sweeney collect All-Conference recognition
WASHINGTON – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced Tuesday the 2025-26 End-of-Season Awards for women's basketball as Richmond earned the league's top individual honor with Maggie Doogan named Player of the Year for the second-straight season, while the Spiders also secured two All-Conference First Team selections and one Second Team honoree.
Doogan becomes a back-to-back Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and the only Spider in program history to earn the A-10 Player of the Year award multiple times as she notched the program's first A-10 POTY award last season. She is the first player in the conference to repeat as Player of the Year since 1989-90, when Pam Bryant picked up the award in back-to-back seasons in the CAA. In addition to the league's top honor, Doogan was named to the All-Conference First Team and All-Academic Team and is the eighth player in Atlantic 10 history to win back to back POTY awards.
The senior has been the most dominant offensive force in the Atlantic 10 this season, leading the league in scoring at 21.6 points per game while totaling 669 points entering postseason play. She is averaging 7.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 41.8 percent from three-point range and 89.7 percent from the free throw line. Doogan ranks among the conference leaders in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding and double-doubles.
An eight-time Atlantic 10 Player of the Week selection this season, Doogan delivered one of the most historic performances in league history on Jan. 10, scoring a program and conference-record 48 points in a triple-overtime victory over Davidson to earn A-10's 'Moment of the Year'. She surpassed 2,000 career points earlier this season and enters the Atlantic 10 Championship ranked second on Richmond's all-time scoring list.
Rachel Ullstrom joins Doogan on the All-Conference First Team. Ullstrom has averaged 14.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from three-point range. She has knocked down 90 three-pointers this season, ranking among the national leaders in both total three-pointers and three-pointers per game.
Ullstrom ranks second all-time in program history with 264 career three-pointers and holds Richmond's single-game record for made three-pointers, set during the 2024-25 season. She has reached double figures in 24 games this year and has recorded multiple 20-point performances in conference play.
Ally Sweeney earned All-Conference Second Team honors after directing one of the Atlantic 10's most efficient offenses. Sweeney averages 10.5 points and 4.4 assists per game and leads the league in total assists with 137. She owns a 2.14 assist-to-turnover ratio and has recorded double-digit assists in multiple games this season while ranking among the conference leaders in assists per game.
Richmond is one of two programs to place multiple players on the All-Conference First Team alongside George Mason's Kennedy Harris and Zahirah Walton.
The Spiders enter the Atlantic 10 Championship as the No. 3 seed and will play Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Henrico Sports and Events Center.
