Shea was also named First-Team All-Conference.

In addition, Head Coach Sarah Dalton Graddock earned America East Coach of the Year honors.

The Catamounts finished the regular season with a 9-6 overall record and on a three-game win streak. Graddock becomes just the second coach from UVM to achieve this prestigious honor.
