Eagle FC Women Welcomes Back All-State Player Eckroth

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – The Eagle FC Women are thrilled to officially welcome back UMASS Lowell MF/F Gaby Eckroth for the 2026 USL W League season!

A talented attacker and hometown standout from Mechanicsburg, PA, Gaby returns to Eagle FC after an impressive 2025 campaign where she made 7 appearances and scored 3 goals, including a clutch game-winning goal in the 90th minute on the road against Lancaster Inferno, helping Eagle FC Women secure a third consecutive Mid-Atlantic Division title.

Gaby is also a standout at the collegiate level, playing at UMass Lowell for the River Hawks. During her time in Lowell, she has continued to develop as a dynamic forward:

• 2024 Season (Freshman): Appeared in 15 games with two starts, logging 476 minutes, scoring 2 goals and adding 2 assists while earning America East All-Rookie Team honors.
• 2025 Season (Sophomore): Played a key role for the River Hawks, scoring multiple goals and earning America East All-Conference Second Team honors for her consistent offensive production.

Gaby’s 2025 season for UMass Lowell was highlighted by a career-first performance in which she tallied both a goal and an assist in the same game, earning her America East Offensive Player of the Week honors after a standout performance against UAlbany where she set up the team’s first goal and later scored the game-winner.

Gaby will once again be an integral piece of the Eagle FC attack this summer as she prepares for another season with the River Hawks and looks to continue her upward trajectory both on and off the pitch.

Welcome back Gaby, pending USL W League and federation approval.
