This is Greco’s second time garnering All-America accolades; she was also named to the NFHCA second team in 2024. Greco, the two-time Liberty League Player of the Year, started all 21 games and remained Union’s top offensive threat this season, totaling a team-high 16 goals, eight assists, and 40 points in just 670 minutes of play. She led the league with 53 shots on goal (2.5 per game) and tied for the Liberty League lead in points and assists.

In two Liberty League tournament games, Greco registered five points (1G, 3A) as the Garnet Chargers, who earned a share of the regular-season title for the second consecutive year, won their first-ever conference postseason game and advanced to their first conference championship game to close out 2025.
