Sullivan made a big impact in her first year in the Blugold uniform, tallying three goals, eight points, 14 shots on goal and one game-winning goal.

Lenz and Lafaive were the rocks of the UW-Eau Claire defense that was third in the WIAC in goals against average (.91). In goal, Lafaive recorded 94 saves with a save percentage of .855 on the season. Overall, the junior had a goal-against average of .86 in 18 games played.
