The Ivy League announced its major women’s awards last week. But we know this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Ivy Hoops Online’s 2025-26 All-Ivy Awards, as determined by IHO’s contributors prior to the 2026 Ivy League Tournament:

I understand the point of compiling your list before the Ivy League Tournament, to parallel the conference timing on when accolades are determined. But Ivy Hoops Online could also follow a different schedule or simply acknowledge the current reality that our three most important games of the season are played after All-Ivy teams are named. That seems counterintuitive, right?
We now have all the data needed on which players have most contributed to their teams’ success, which in our conference means winning (1) the regular season championship; and (2) the ILT title and the NCAA bid it bestows.
The most important Ivy League women’s basketball player in 2026 is Fadima Tall.
