Wahl ended the season with four goals and three assists, with one each coming in ODAC games. The midfielder collected 19 shots, 11 on goal, in her nine ODAC starts. The junior had a career-high in assists and matched her career-high in goals this season.

Soos, a defender, played and started in seven ODAC games, with 14 starts overall. The sophomore helped the Hornets hold ODAC opponents scoreless in five conference games, with opponents only scoring nine times in conference play.
