Senior Amanda Leary (Westbury, N.Y.), was named the MVP of the 2026 Naismith Classic following victories for the Pride over Rivier and No. 25 Colby College, as she totaled 37 points (18.5 per game) and 22 rebounds (11 per game) to go along with four assists, four steals and one block in just over 50 minutes on the court. Leary shot at a .714 clip from the floor, burying 15 of her 21 attempts, and went 7 for 9 at the free-throw line. Leary and the Springfield defense held the nationally ranked Mules to a season-low 39 points, a season-low 15 field goals made, and a season-low 29.4 percent shooting from the floor.
