The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference announced their 2026 women's Tennis All-Conference Teams and major award winners Thursday evening on their All-CACC Women's Tennis Announcement Show via the CACC Network. 

Chestnut Hill College women's tennis players Lilian Bandel and Fabienne Lahn were among those recognized by the conference

In voting done by the league's seven coaches, Bandel Lahn  were selected to the all-conference team as second team honorees.  Bandel earns all-CACC accolades for the third consecutive season while Lahn, a junior transfer in her first season at Chestnut Hill earns her first all-conference honor.

Bandel has produced a 11-5 overall mark  in singles play this season, including a 8-4 mark in conference matches.  In doubles play she  is 15-3 overall  and sports a stellar 10-2 mark  in conference matches.  The senior player recently captured the ITA East Region Doubles Championship last week in Queens, New York, teaming with Elena Arenas Guisasola, her doubles partner throughout the season.

Lahn also completed a stellar run at the ITA Regionals, reaching the championship singles match while beating five seeded players along the way.  She also reached the semi-finals of the doubles competition at ITA's, producing a 3-1 doubles mark in addition to her six singles wins.  Overall Lahn has an impressive 18-3 singles mark with a 10-2 record in conference play.  In doubles she is 10-5 overall with a 6-4 conference mark.

New this year is the CACC Sportsmanship Team.  The Sportsmanship Team replaces the former Team Sportsmanship Award. Each conference member is represented by one student-athlete, as chosen by the coaching staff, that best represented the spirit of sportsmanship, class, and character in practice, competition, and off the court.  Bandel was chosen as the Griffins' representative to the inaugural Women's Tennis Sportsmanship Team and is one of seven women's tennis players selected

The Women's Tennis has qualified for the CACC Tournament Championship for the  eighth consecutive season.  The team has reached the championship match twice in that time span, most recently in 2024 and also during the 2020-21 season.  The Griffins will open up tournament play against #1 seed Queens College on Saturday, October 17 at the Delcastle Tennis Center in Wilmington, Delaware.  First serve is at 11:00 a.m.
