Deneen earned All-Conference honors after a standout sophomore campaign that saw her lead the Hawks in both goals scored (eight) and points (21). Both marks ranked within the top ten in the NE10. She also ranked in the top ten for both shots and shots on goal while starting every game for Saint Anselm this season. Deneen came through in some of the most crucial moments in the postseason, rocketing in the game-winning PK goal in the NE10 Championship to give the Hawks the win and their first-ever automatic NCAA tournament berth. In the classroom, Deneen earned her CSC All-District nod by posting a 3.583 GPA as a Biology major.
 
Swidorski earned All-Conference honors thanks to a consistent and reliable season that saw her start every game for the Hawks while posting a 1.05 goals-against-average, which ranked in the top five in the Conference. Swidorski also posted three shutouts during the season and never gave up more than two goals in a game. She posted a 10-2-5 record throughout the season and made several key saves throughout the playoffs to anchor the Hawks on their NE10 Championship run. In the classroom, Swidorski earned CSC All-District honors with a 3.624 GPA as a Computer Science major.
