Leopards Place Two on All-Patriot League Women's Soccer Team

Zaffanella and Santelli earn all-conference honors

EASTON, Pa. – Junior Nadia Zaffanella and senior Katrina Santelli were named to All-Patriot League women's soccer teams announced on Friday morning.

Zaffanella was a first-team selection. The Ellington, Conn. native started all 18 matches for the Leopards in 2025, scoring a team-best seven goals with an assist en route to a team-high 15 total points. Zaffanella had two game-winning goals, including the winner against rival Lehigh that clinched Lafayette the fifth seed in the 2025 Patriot League Tournament. It is the first tournament appearance for the Maroon and White since 2019. The Economics major was named Patriot League Midfielder of the Week once this season and was previously a Second-Team All-Patriot League selection, along with being the 2023 Patriot League Rookie of the Year.

Santelli was selected to the second team. The Pepper Pike, Ohio native has tallied five goals this season, along with a team-leading three assists and 45 shots. The Mechanical Engineering major was a 2025 Preseason All-Patriot League Selection. Santelli has scored 12 goals in her career at Lafayette, putting her in the top 10 all-time. She has 32 career points, which is also a top-10 mark.

The Leopards continue their season on Sunday at 1 p.m. when they travel to fourth-seeded Holy Cross for the Patriot League Tournament quarterfinal.
