Carrera was named to the All-Northeast First Team after leading the UVM defense with a career-high 50 caused turnovers and 58 ground balls. The senior defender ranks No. 2 in the country in caused turnovers per game (2.94), and No. 3 in ground balls per game (3.41). Carrera was named to the America East All-Conference First Team at the end of the regular season, and earned All-Championship Team honors in last week's title run.
 
Vasile received All-Northeast Second Team honors, posting a program-best 62 goals this season and 78 points.

The Milford, Mass. native also earned America East All-Conference First Team honors this season, and was named to the All-Championship Team.
 
The two Catamounts helped lead Vermont to the first America East Championship in program history, defeating No. 1 UAlbany 12-11 on Saturday (May 7).
