Strub, a senior midfielder from Darien, Conn., scored 69 goals and averaged 3.29 goals per game, good enough for 27th in the nation. Strub led Salisbury in man-up goals (9) and buried four or more goals in seven contests last season, including two six-goal performances.

Stafford, a senior long stick defender from Darien, Conn., led the 2025 squad with 49 disruptions and spent time playing close defense, along with duties at LSM. Stafford collected 58 grounders to mark career-highs in ground balls and caused turnovers in 2025.
Malamphy, a senior faceoff specialist from Annapolis, Md., won 282 faceoffs at a 63.5 percent clip for SU in 2025. The FOGO added eight goals and handed out two assists while scooping up 157 ground balls in his junior season.
