Troy, NY – The 2026 Liberty League Champion Vassar College Women's Soccer team featured a pair of conference Weekly Awards winners on Monday with senior Gianna Panarelli (Jensen beach, FL) named the Offensive Performer of the Week and classmate Cecelia Wager (Brookline, MA) tabbed the league's Defensive Performer of the Week.
 
Panarelli earns her first weekly citation of the season after potting the game winning goal on Sunday in a 2-1 road win at #11 William Smith in the Liberty League Championship Final. Panarelli's eighth goal of the season snapped a 1-1 tie in the 22^nd minute and was enough for Vassar to win its second straight Liberty League crown.
 
Wager also had a standout championship for the Brewers, anchoring a backline that allowed just one goal and 15 total shots over two contests. The Brewers played Union to a scoreless draw in the semifinal on Friday, advancing on kicks with Wager clinching the victory with a conversion in the fourth round. In the final on Sunday, William Smith managed only eight shots with Wager going on to be named the championship's Most Outstanding Performer.
 
At 11-1-5 overall on the season, Vassar will host the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday and Sunday. The Brewers open the event against Hartford at 1:30 p.m. on November 14.
