For both student-athletes, it marks back-to-back seasons earning their respective All-Summit League nods. UND is now up to 16 All-Summit League accolades in program history and have had at least two players recognized each year since 2022.
Ellermann was a catalyst behind much of UND's success this season, leading the team with seven goals, five of which came in conference play. The senior's conference goal total is tied for first among Summit League competition in league play. She scored three game-winning goals during the conference slate, which is also tied for second in the Summit League and her four in the season is top 30 in NCAA.
Her 10 total points ranked third in the Summit League. With her goals came a substantial number of shots taken, of which she had 22. Twelve of those shots were at the net, ranking fourth in the league. She also went 2-for-2 in penalty kicks on the year. Ellermann capped her outstanding season by scoring the final three North Dakota goals of the 2026 campaign.
For the complete season, Ellermann wrapped her collegiate playing career scoring seven goals, adding two assists for 16 total points.
Basinet earns Honorable Mention status after compiling two goals and an assist during league play. She finished just behind Ellermann with 21 total shots with six on goal. Her goal total ranked tied for eighth among conference competitors. She started in all 10 conference matches and logged 838 minutes, playing the full 90 at North Dakota State on Oct. 24.
Basinet finished her junior campaign with four goals, upping her career total to 15, and a team-high four assists.
Both players' standout moments from the season came in the Summit League opener against NDSU on Sept. 24, where they both secured braces against the Bison in the 4-0 shutout. Ellermann struck first in that game, followed by the pair from Basinet. Ellermann wrapped the game with her first penalty kick goal of the season to close the game in the 82nd minute.
