She led all defenders in minutes played, logging 1,524 minutes.
 
Wineburg played in a career-high 10 games, making five starts as a key part of the Warriors' defense. A four-year letterwinner, Wineburg was a three-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll and a Chi Alpha Sigma Athletics Honor Society inductee. She is also the president of the college's SAAC and a member of the women's lacrosse team, where she earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a junior.

Gerasimoff, an honorable mention all-conference pick, set the program's single-season shutout record with seven, earning a 1-0 win over DeSales University as the Warriors clinched their first playoff berth to break the record. She was named the MAC Freedom Defensive Player of the Week for the effort, plus another shutout win against King's (Pa.). Gerasimoff's seven shutouts ranked second in the conference along with her .809 save percentage. Her eight wins this season are tied for fourth in program history. She is also a one-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll.
 
Maihle appeared in all 20 games, starting 14 for the Warriors as a center back alongside Mort, as she proved critical in helping the team to those 10 shutouts. She is also a one-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll.

The Warriors also finished 5-3 in MAC Freedom play to earn the program's first postseason appearance in the program's 29-year history.
