JACKSON, Mich. – The Crossroads League announced its 2025-2026 Women's Basketball All-League honors on Wednesday, following No. 4 Marian's sweep of the regular season and tournament championships. The Knights headlined the All-Crossroads League honors, earning a league-high 11 conference awards, led by Abbey McNally and coach Suntana Anderson. 

Abbey McNally repeated as the Crossroads League Player and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming Marian's third player to earn Player of the Year in consecutive seasons, while becoming the first player in Crossroads League History to repeat as Defensive Player of the Year three consecutive seasons. In addition to McNally being named as the league's top player, head coach Suntana Anderson was named as the Crossroads League Coach of the Year, earning the honor for the first time in her career. 

Marian had five additional players join McNally on the All-CL Teams, with Taylor Double joining the senior on the All-CL First Team. Both Madisyn Bailey and Olivia Faust were named to the Second Team, and Kenna Kirby and Kiley McNally were named as Honorable Mention Team players.

For Abbey McNally, the dominant senior forward enjoyed a record-setting senior season, becoming Marian's all-time leader in games started and field goals made, while eclipsing the 2000-point threshold in her career at Grace College on February 11. The senior leads Marian in scoring, averaging 19.5 points per game, and is one of the nation's best rebounders, averaging 10.7 rebounds per game. McNally has 18 double-doubles this year and has eclipsed 1350 career rebounds, the most of any female in Crossroads League history. In addition to her First Team and Player of the Year honors, McNally was named to the All-CL Defense Team, leading the league as the Defender of the Year for the third consecutive season. McNally recorded a team-high 43 blocked shots this season and has 51 steals entering the NAIA Tournament, while leading the Crossroads League in field goal percentage and rebounding. 

Taylor Double joins McNally on the All-CL First Team, making her second career appearance on the Crossroads League First Team. Double enters the NAIA Tournament as Marian's second-leading scorer, averaging 9.8 points per game, and has been on fire in the last month, scoring in double figures in six of the team's last seven games, including her season-high 25 points against Indiana Wesleyan. Double scored 16 points in Marian's CL Championship win against No. 6 Saint Francis, with 11 points coming in the fourth quarter. The junior scored what stood as the game-winning three with 90 seconds to play, helping Marian end the game on a 9-0 run. Double is third in the Crossroads League this season in three-point field goal percentage. 

Madisyn Bailey made both the Crossroads League Second Team and Defensive Team, as the sophomore point guard turned in another stellar campaign this season. Bailey played a team-high 30 minutes per game through the team's first 31 games this season, and leads the Knights in assists with 154 total, dishing 5.0 per contest. The point guard is also averaging 8.7 points per game and 3.9 rebounds per game, while defensively she records 2.4 steals per contest. Bailey is on the cusp of being in the top-10 all-time at Marian in assists and steals following her strong season. Bailey leads all players in the Crossroads League in assists and is third in steals. 

Olivia Faust joined Bailey on the Second Team, starting 19 of 31 games and averaging 7.3 points per game. Faust logged 26 steals and 30 assists, while averaging 3.3 rebounds per game this season. Faust's honor is the second of her career by the league, and first mention on the Second Team. 

Making the honorable mention team were Kenna Kirby and Kiley McNally, both of whom play an integral role in Marian's 2025-26 gameplan. Kirby is third on the team in scoring at 8.8 points per game and is second on the team in assists with 96 on the campaign. The senior leads both the Knights and the Crossroads League with 78 steals this season, and is on the verge of ranking in the top-five all-time in Marian single season thefts.
