LATHAM, NY- The United East Conference has announced its 2026 softball All-Conference teams, with Isabella Benitez (East Windsor, N.J./Hightstown) earning Third Team honors in the outfield for Keystone College.

Benitez played a key role for the Giants throughout the 2026 campaign, helping lead Keystone through a challenging schedule that featured both non-conference competition in Myrtle Beach and a full United East slate.

The Giants opened the season at the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic in Myrtle Beach, picking up victories over Immaculata and Penn State Schuylkill during the week. Keystone later earned conference wins against Gallaudet University and the University of Valley Forge during the second half of the season.

Throughout conference play, Benitez remained one of Keystone's most consistent contributors, providing leadership both in the outfield and in the lineup against United East opponents including Lancaster Bible College, Penn State Brandywine, Wilson College, and Cedar Crest College.

The All-Conference teams are voted on by coaches from across the conference and recognize the top performers from the 2026 season. Benitez's selection highlights her impact on the Giants program throughout the spring and adds another postseason honor for Keystone softball.
