York University Lions field hockey midfielder and 2025-26 York women's athlete of the year Kathryn Carlow was named a U SPORTS first team all-Canadian at the Field Hockey Canada U SPORTS awards banquet on Nov. 4 in Waterloo.
Carlow, a fourth-year midfielder from Douro-Dummer, Ont., achieves U SPORTS all-Canadian status for the second consecutive year, coming off her second straight OUA all-star season. The kinesiology and health science student was an offensive force one again for York in 2026, scoring six goals, good enough for second on the team behind Gates McAllister, and tied for third in the OUA.
Her most productive day came in York's home opener on Sept. 13, when she buried a hat trick in the Lions decisive 6-0 win over the Guelph Gryphons. She also potted goals on Sept. 20 at Waterloo, Sept. 24 at Guelph and in the Lions senior day win over the Queen's Gaels.
Last season, Carlow became the 36th unique player in York field hockey history to be named a U SPORTS all-Canadian, and is on a list of 71 players all time to earn the honour. By winning the award a second time this season, she becomes the 21st player in program history upon whom the all-Canadian honour has been bestowed multiple times. With one year of eligibility remaining, Carlow can join an even shorter list of 10 players to be selected as an all-Canadian at least three times.
