Henderson capped her senior campaign with a team‑leading 31 points, including 16 goals, and even recorded her first career hat trick on January 16 against Delaware, underscoring her offensive impact.

Her performances earned her two AHA Player of the Week honors and a January recognition as AHA Forward of the Month, while she also contributed 14 points over eight games in January.
Dunne‑Weeks, meanwhile, posted 18 points — four goals and 14 assists — and stood out defensively with a team‑high 78 blocked shots, a effort that was rewarded when she was named AHA Defenseman of the Week on February 17 after a four‑assist outing.
