Steffens earned second team honors at forward. She currently ranks second on the team in goals with three, which includes one game winner, and points with nine.

She has helped FHSU post a 0.76 goals against average and eight shutouts for the regular season while starting all 18 contests. Queener adds more honors to her resume after earning an all-region selection at Laramie County Community College last year.
Thompson earns third-team honors at goalkeeper for the second straight year. Although she has a record of 5-6, she has just a 1.1 goals against average this year in 984 minutes between the pipes. She now has 18 career wins and 14 career shutouts for the Tigers in just her second year of collegiate competition. She was an all-region selection last year as well.
Schmitz earns her first career all-conference honor at defender. She ranks second on the team in minutes played with 1,402, starting all 18 contests. She has helped FHSU post a 0.76 goals against average and eight shutouts for the regular season while starting all 18 contests.
Makatura earned honorable mention status for the second straight year, but this year as a midfielder after grabbing the honors at defender last year. She has done a great job transitioning into the midfield, recording two goals and four assists for the season. The four assists is tied for the team lead. Her eight points for the season ranks third on the team. She ranks fourth on the team in minutes played with 1,133.
Beaulieu picks up her first all-conference honor, an honorable mention selection in the midfield. She ranks third on the team in minutes played this year with 1,287 and has one assist to her credit. She has been instrumental defensively in preserving eight shutouts for the Tigers this year.
Moosburger has burst onto the scene for FHSU this year at forward to earn an honorable mention selection. The true freshman leads the team in goals with four, points with 12, and is tied for the team lead in assists with four. She had two game-winning goals in the regular season. She has also been very efficient with her shots, placing 75 percent of them on goal.
Loneker earns an honorable mention selection for the second straight year. This year she gets the honor at forward after a selection at midfielder last year. She was leading the team in goals with three when she suffered a season-ending injury in the 10th match of the season. She still ranks fourth on the team in points with six.
