Two members of the University of Mary Washington women's soccer team will continue their development this summer with the Richmond Ivy, a high-level pre-professional club featuring talent from NCAA Division I, II, and III programs across the region.

Maci Landel and Naomi Knight will join the Ivy for the club's upcoming summer season, giving both Eagles the opportunity to train and compete alongside some of the top collegiate players in Virginia and beyond. The 2026 season marks Landel's third with the club, while Knight is joining for the first time.

Landel and Knight are coming off fantastic seasons for the Eagles after leading Mary Washington to the Elite 8 this past fall. Both were named to the Coast-to-Coast First Team for their efforts in the regular season. Landel led the Eagles' offense with nine goals and 11 assists. Meanwhile, Knight played and started in 22 games on the backline and scored a pair of goals in the process. For their efforts and leadership, Knight and Landel were both named the Eagles' team captains for the 2026 season this past spring.

The Richmond Ivy competes against top collegiate talent throughout the summer and serves as a developmental platform for players looking to elevate their game during the offseason. The roster regularly features student-athletes from Division I programs, providing valuable experience and exposure for participating players.

You can catch both Landel and Knight at the Ivy's games this summer at City Stadium in Richmond, Virginia. You can view the schedule: HERE.
