The Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year concluded her season with 18 goals and 17 assists. The two-time East Region Player of the Year was also chosen first team all-conference and was recognized on the NE10 All-Tournament Team along with being awarded the Most Value Player award of the conference postseason tournament.

The Ron Lenz National Player of the Year award was named for long-time South Dakota State Sports Information Director Ron Lenz in 2008. Lenz was instrumental in the foundation of the NCAA Division II All-America program, which honors outstanding student-athletes across eight NCAA Division II sports.
Communication professionals from NCAA Division II schools and conferences selected the three D2 CCA All-America teams. The process begins at the regional level with all first-team all-region picks advancing to the national ballot. A total of 40 student-athletes filled out the three teams.
