The Amherst College women's ice hockey team saw its season come to a close in the NCAA Division III semifinals, falling to the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, 3-1, on March 28. This matchup marked a rematch of last year's national championship game, with the Mammoths unable to overcome the Falcons' power-play effectiveness. Despite the loss, Amherst finishes the season with an impressive 21-3-6 record, having captured the NESCAC championship and extended their winning streak to seven games before the semifinal defeat. Senior goaltender Natalie Stott capped her illustrious career with her fourth consecutive First Team All-American honor, solidifying her status as one of the all-time greats in Division III hockey. Stott leaves the program holding NCAA Division III records for career shutouts (45) and wins (86), further underscoring the impact of her tenure at Amherst.

In track and field, the women's team opened its outdoor season with a strong showing at the UMass Flagship Opener on March 29. Lilly Meadows delivered a standout performance in the hammer throw, launching a record-breaking throw of 43.69 meters, which not only earned her a fifth-place finish overall but also shattered the previous school record. Meadows also competed in the shot put and discus, showcasing her versatility. Mads Rabb contributed to the team's success with a personal best of 1:07.64 in the 400-meter hurdles, securing a third-place finish. The Mammoths demonstrated their competitive spirit against a mix of Division I and III athletes, setting a promising tone for the rest of the outdoor season.
