Rachel is only a freshman (named Frosh of the Year) and was the only CUSA player to earn Player of the Week honors on two different occasions.

It appears Hedlund has the program in position to keep rolling in the new conference.

Great for those two, both are fantastic players. I did think that NT deserves more than1 player on the second and third teams. Too bad, NT's goalkeeper was out for the conference race, Riley has been an able replacement; but Kerestine could have made a difference in several games.

They should have a real shot at the title.
