Julia Shaunessy was chosen as the most improved player. She capped her strong rookie season by scoring her first two collegiate goals in the Hockey East quarterfinals. Shaunessy appeared in all 12 games and got better and better in all three zones throughout the year.
Nicole McGuigan won the Caroline Bourdeau Spirit Award. Her infectious, positive attitude coupled with an outstanding work ethic made a difference during a challenging year. The Academic Award was split between Rachel Allen and Kaleigh Donnelly, who each recorded a 3.89 GPA. Kate Stuart claimed the Strength & Conditioning Award.
