This is the first time the Catamounts have ever had anyone nominated to the watchlist. Drees and Lefranc are two of 11 America East players on this list.
 
The nomination marks the second preseason honor the two picked up, as both were named to the America East All-Conference team earlier this month.
 
A Bremen, Germany native, Drees comes into her final season in Burlington with 52 career points (15 Goals, 22 Assists). Her 22 assists put her fourth all-time and four away from breaking the program record. She is also seven points away from cracking the top 10 in career points. She has appeared in every game in her career so far and was named to the America East all-conference team for the second straight season in 2023.
 
Lefranc, a Munich native, was Vermont's leading scorer a year ago, scoring 25 points with 10 goals and five assists. Her 25 points were the 11th most by a Catamount in a single season. She picked up America East all-conference honors for the second straight season and was named to the NFHCA all-Northeast Region second team as well.
