TRAFFORD, Pa.--Five members of Westminster's women's swimming and diving program were named 2025-26 All-Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) selections Friday afternoon.

Westminster finished in third place with 457 points. Second-year head coach Todd Slobodnyak '12 was voted the PAC Women's Swimming Coach of the Year.

The all-conference swimming and diving teams are determined by a formula-based selection process using student-athletes' individual and relay finishes at the league's annual championships.

Junior Maddy McClain (Elizabeth, Pa., Elizabeth Forward) was a First Team All-PAC selection while junior Annabelle Turner (Butler, Pa., Butler) and freshmen Nina Nappo (Columbiana, Ohio, Columbiana) and Brianna Reinhart (Pittsburgh, Pa., North Allegheny) were named Second Team All-PAC. Freshman Rachel Rospierski (Erie, Pa., Fairview) was named Honorable Mention All-PAC.

It is McClain's third All-PAC selection. She was a First Team All-PAC choice in 2023-24 and Second Team All-PAC pick in 2024-25. Turner, Nappo, Reinhart and Rospierski were named All-PAC for the first time.

Sophomore Emily Yurko (Boardman, Ohio, Boardman) was recognized as a member of the PAC's Sportsmanship Team at the conclusion of Saturday's finals. The PAC Sportsmanship Teams were established to recognize student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through demonstrated acts of sportsmanship and ethical behavior and are an ongoing effort to recognize and encourage positive sportsmanship among all PAC teams.
