FOREST, Va. - Four members of the Bridgewater College field hockey team have been named to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference's All-ODAC teams, announced by the league office on Tuesday.

Mollie Best earned a spot on the first team, while Lexi Francis, Kiley Parker and Ava Hoyer earned places on the third team. 

Best was a key piece in the midfield for the Eagles in her senior season. The Carlisle, Pa., native was one of five Eagles to start all 19 games. She tallied a pair of goals and a pair of assists on the campaign and made a defensive save against Shenandoah. Best adds this to a Second Team All-ODAC selection last season, and finished her career by starting in her final 56 straight games. 

Francis was one of BC's leaders offensively in 2026. The senior tallied four goals, including two and the game-winner at Meredith in late September. She fired a career-high 19 shots on goal on the year, while starting in all 19 contests for the Eagles at forward. Despite not statistically registering an assist, Francis served as the primary inbounder for BC on penalty corners this season. 

Parker led the Eagles with six goals this season on the way to third-team all-conference honors. Parker saw action in all 19 contests and had four of BC's nine game-winning goals this season. The junior delivered in the clutch against Eastern in early October. Parker converted on a penalty stroke in overtime to secure a 3-2 win for the Eagles. 

Hoyer made an immediate impact in her rookie season. The defender from Pasadena, Md. started 18 games for the Eagles and anchored the back line for coach Emily Bagby and company. Her work may not have shown up often on the stat sheet, but she registered a defensive save at Meredith and was key to BC's six shutouts in 2026. 

The Eagles finished 2026 with a 9-10 overall record against a tough schedule. Bridgewater finished the season with a loss to Randolph-Macon in the ODAC quarterfinals.
