Sophomore back Taylor Dalisera was named a first-team all-conference selection, while senior midfielder Hannah Christensen,  junior forward Molly Goldstein, junior back Morgan Paese and freshman goalkeeper Brittany Hodson received honorable mention to the all-conference team.

Dalisera, who received honorable mention last season, started in each of her 16 games played during the regular season for the Knights, and was second on the team in scoring with nine goals and five assists for 23 points, while recording two defensive saves around the cage. Included in her nine goals were two game-winning goals and two game-tying goals. Her 23 points ranked her in the top-10 in the conference in scoring.
