Dillon was named the league’s Offensive Performer of the Week, RACA Co-Female Athlete of the Week, and ECAC Upstate Player of the Week following that performance. Dillon also led the Herons in draw controls with 37.

The Shirley Zornow ’48 Lacrosse Coach’s Award went to Fitzgerald. The Liberty League Rookie of the Year led all first-years in goals (31), assists (11) and points (42).
