Reumer tallied three awards, being named the America East Rookie of the Year as well as being placed on the All-Conference First Team and the All-Rookie Team. Senior Mara Küskes followed with two selections - First Team All-Conference and All-Academic. Sophomore Jette Kurz landed a First Team All-Conference nod while senior Pilar Lorenzini was named Second Team All-Conference and All-Academic. Tatum Hickey joined Reumer on the All-Rookie Team.

Reumer started out her collegiate career with four goals in three contests, including one with two goals. She finished the regular season atop the conference, 22nd in the nation, with .73 goals per game (11 total) and ranks second in the league, 39th in the nation, with 1.53 points per game. She adds a second conference leading number with four game-winning scores.

Küskes caps her Great Dane career as one of the best defenders in the nation. Her three defensive saves lead the conference and ranks 12th in the nation. Getting to play on offense during penalty corners, she is ranked top 10 in the nation with .80 assists per game (12 total) and 60th in the nation with 1.33 points per game (20 total). 

The only America East athlete with more assists than Küskes is her teammate, Kurz. A forward by nature, Kurz had a breakout season as a sophomore. Scoring four goals and assisting 14 more, she is sixth in the nation with .93 assists per game and third in the conference, top 50 in the nation, with 1.47 points per game. Totaling six games with multiple points earned, Kurz is an essential member of both the offensive and defensive penalty corner units.

Despite battling through injury for much of the start of the season, Lorenzini stepped up and was a force on defense for her team. Totaling 10 starts with 12 games total, she played for every minute possible. Finding her stride towards the end of the season, she totaled four goals and three assists, four of which (3G, 1A), she earned in the final four contests of the regular season.

Hickey started her collegiate career this season and made an immediate impact with an assist in her first appearance. Having started all 15 games, she finished third on the team with 931 minutes at midfield.

The Great Danes will continue the season as the third seed in the America East Tournament (Nov. 2-7). UAlbany will host Bryant in the quarterfinal round, set to be competed at Alumni Turf on November 1.
