Jordan Obi earns her first first-team All-Ivy honor after being named second-team All-Ivy each of the last two seasons. The senior forward was second among Penn players and sixth among Ivy Leaguers in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game, and led the Quakers and was second among Ivy players with 7.8 rebounds per contest. She also led Penn with 36 blocked shots—her 1.3 blocks per game second among Ivy players—and added 63 assists and 25 steals. Obi scored in double figures in 11 of 14 Ivy contests this season, including the last two and eight of the last nine, and has five double-doubles in conference play.
 
Stina Almqvist earns her first All-Ivy recognition after leading Penn and finishing fifth among Ivy League players in scoring (15.4 ppg). She also was second on the team and ninth among Ivy Leaguers in rebounds per game (6.4) and third among conference players in blocked shots per game (1.1). Almqvist scored in double figures in 11 of Penn's 14 Ivy League games, including each of the last six and eight of the last nine. She also has three double-doubles this season in conference play.
 
Mataya Gayle is the seventh Penn woman to earn Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors and the sixth during the Mike McLaughlin coaching era. She is the first player named Rookie of the Year since Kayla Padilla in 2019-20. Gayle was Penn's third-leading scorer this season, averaging 14.1 points per game overall and 12.9 in Ivy League games, and led the Quakers in assists (83), steals (40), and three-point field goals (49). Gayle scored in double figures in nine of Penn's 14 Ivy games this season.

Columbia's Abbey Hsu was named the Ivy League Player of the Year while the Lions' head coach, Megan Griffith, was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year by her peers. Princeton's Ellie Mitchell was voted the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Year.
 
Penn's season continues on Friday when the fourth-seeded Quakers face top-seeded Princeton in an Ivy League Tournament semifinal at Columbia's Levien Gym. That game will tip off at 4:30 p.m. If Penn wins that game, the Red and Blue will face either second-seeded Columbia or third-seeded Harvard in the ILT final on Saturday at 5 p.m.
