Two of the four received the highest point total at their position as Pastorelli led all defenders and Miller led all midfielders. Additionally, Miller was the overall leading vote getter among the 22 Division III players selected.

The two-time CCC Defensive Player of the Year, Pastorelli helped the Leopards hold opponents to 14 goals in 23 contests and a 0.59 goas against average to go along with 14 shutouts.

For her career she started 73 of the 81 contests in which she played, scoring 13 goals and assisting on 18 others for 44 points. Her 18 assists tie her for fifth in program history.
