The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference has officially announced its 2026 girls' lacrosse MVP and All-Stars, spotlighting some of the region's most talented athletes. Leading the pack is Pleasant Valley senior Rylee Rath, who has been named the EPC MVP for the second consecutive year—a testament to her dominance on the field.

Rath, who is committed to play collegiately at Northwestern, put up jaw-dropping numbers this season: 87 goals and 26 assists in just 17 games. Her stellar performance continues a remarkable streak for Pleasant Valley, as this marks the third straight season a Bears player has claimed the MVP title. Devon Bush took home the honor in 2024, and Rath earned her first MVP in 2025 before repeating this year.

But Rath isn't the only Pleasant Valley standout earning recognition. Four Bears players received All-Conference honors. Joining Rath on the All-EPC first team are sophomore midfielder Brielle Halamar and junior defender Alyzah Borger, both of whom have been key contributors to the team's success. Junior utility player Samantha Miller rounds out the group with a spot on the second team, showcasing the depth of talent in the Pleasant Valley program.

This level of recognition highlights not only individual excellence but also the strength of the Bears' lacrosse program. For fans and aspiring players, it's a reminder of the dedication and skill required to compete at the highest level in the EPC.
