Gianna Russo (Wake Forest, N.C.) notched career-beats in nearly every category including shots (7), SOG (7), points (6), goals (5), and ground balls (4).

Jaqui Sheedy (Baltimore, Md.) poured in six points on top of being a draw control dynamo with 16 wins while Julia Coughlin (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) put a half-dozen points in the stat sheet.
