LOUDONVILLE, NY – Consistency became the calling card for the recently graduated Mattingly O'Rourke in the classroom, on a course or track and showing care within the community. 
 
On Wednesday, O'Rourke received the honor of being named one of the 2026 Capital District Sports Women of the Year (CDSWOY) award recipients. 
 
It marks the fourth consecutive year in which a student-athlete from Siena has been bestowed the honor of being recognized by the CDSWOY. In 2025, Siena was represented by women's lacrosse attack Grace Dobrzynski. In 2024, Siena's nominee was diver Talia Spenziero and in 2023, the Saints were represented by cross country runner Olivia Lomascolo.
 
An awards gala is scheduled for Monday, August 3 at 7:00 p.m. at the GE Theatre at Proctors in Schenectady. Tickets will be available online at Proctors.org soon. The Grand Collegiate Woman of the Year and the Grand Scholastic Woman of the Year are announced at the Awards Gala. 
 
"We are so proud of Mattingly and all of the work that she does in the community, as a leader on our team and we know how hard she works academically," said Siena head cross country and track coach Elizabeth DeBole.
 
"She is a phenomenal role model and an awesome representative for Siena!"
 
Created in 2019 and currently honoring its seventh class, the CDSWOY honors the best and brightest female student athletes from high schools and colleges in the Capital District of New York State. The student-athletes will be recognized for their achievements in academics, athletics, and community service. More information is provided at the website: cdswoy.com.
