I'Horizon), Mayo Kawashima (Osaka, Japan/Osaka Gakugei), Mia Garza (Ottumwa, IA/Ottumwa), and Nana Tanikawa (Kawasaki, Japan/Takatsu) were joined by freshmen keeper Annabelle Combes (Valence, France/Tezenas du Montcel) and defender Meghan Lorjuste (Montreal, Canada/Ecole Marie-Anne) on the All-Region squad.

The group led the Warriors to one of the most successful seasons in school history, posting a 13-3-1 overall record and finished the season ranked No. 10 in the nation in the final NJCAA DI Women's Soccer Poll.
