She also tied for fifth in the conference in runs, tied for seventh in being hit by a pitch, and tied for eighth in walks.

Seeded first in the MASCAC Tournament, the Bears won their first two tournament games before dropping a pair of decisions in the championship round to second-seeded and regular season co-champion Framingham State University.
