At season’s end, Margaret Axelson and Hope Ingle were honored on the All-SoCon First Team as Abby Greenwood secured a spot on the All-SoCon Second Team.

Among the numerous firsts achieved by the program during the campaign were the team’s first win, SoCon win and SoCon Tournament win. The Terriers led the conference with a team ERA of 2.89 with Margaret Axelson’s 2.15 mark topping the league individually. Axelson would garner First-Team All-SoCon recognition at season’s end.
