McConvey put together one of the best offensive seasons in program history in 2022 finishing with a program-record 60 goals and 74 total points. No player had ever scored more than 50 goals in a season at UVM and his 74 points ranks fourth all-time. The senior midfielder scored 12 goals in the America East Tournament on his way to being named Most Outstanding Player in Vermont's second straight conference championship run. He was also the second Catamount ever to be named the league's Offensive Player of the Year.

Burke followed up 2021 with yet another record-breaking season at the faceoff X. He became Vermont's all-time leader in faceoff wins and his 61.4% success-rate at the dot this year ranks second all-time – trailing only his breakout season a year ago. He finished the year with 104 ground balls and is now just the second Catamount with over 200 career ground balls. The Palm Beach, Fla. native was also named to the America East All-Conference First Team for the second straight season.
