Stockton women bring goals and continuity into 2026

Attack already has a platform

The headline name is Makayla Jaffe, who the report says started all 18 matches she played in during her first season and finished with six goals and 14 points. That kind of immediate production matters, especially with recognition at conference level reportedly following.

Stockton also appears to bring back support around her rather than asking one player to carry the attack alone:

• Megan Morris reportedly posted three goals and four assists in 18 appearances.
• Kylee Reissek is said to have started all 20 team matches and added three goals.
• Katie Ambos reportedly contributed two goals and three assists in 15 outings.
• Madison Bjorndahl is also listed as a returning option after 18 appearances.

That is not just scoring. It is spread across finishers, creators and wide contributors.

Defensive stability could be the separator

At the other end, Stockton appears to have a reliable spine. Amelia Shappell reportedly started all 19 matches she played and was second on the team in minutes with 1,618. Bella Bednarz is also said to have started 19 games, helped the side post five clean sheets and still chipped in with two goals.

There also looks to be depth behind that group:

• Erin Lally reportedly started 12 of 13 appearances.
• Ava Moyer is listed with 19 appearances.
• Kyla Gillen is said to have featured 15 times.

Why that matters for 2026

College seasons often turn on roster turnover. Stockton, at least on paper, appears to have avoided a full reset. Returning goals, assists, starts and defensive minutes give the team a clear framework rather than a blank slate.

The next storyline to watch is simple: can that continuity turn into a faster start and a higher ceiling in conference play once the 2026 campaign gets underway?
