She was named the NSIC Offensive Player of the Week three times during the season and scored a goal in nine-of-18 matches. Barthelt also maintained a seven-match point streak during the season and finished second in the NSIC with three game-winning goals.
 
Stocke joined Barhtelt on the All-NSIC First Team earning the recognition for the second time in her career and the third time earning All-NSIC honors. Stocke posted a goal and two assists from the Beavers' midfield and led all midfielders logging 1,291 minutes on the pitch.
 
Hodny earns her second All-NSIC Second Team recognition after previously earning the accolade in 2023. Hody started all 19 matches for the Beavers in the midfield and posted four points off a goal and two assists. She finished second on the team with 12 shots on goal and logged 1,150 minutes on the pitch.
