She finished the regular season ranked seventh nationally in assists. Carroll added 39 assists in the Captains' first round win over SUNY Morrisville on Thursday.

Wright received her second straight all-region award after totaling 93 blocks in the regular season. She was dangerous on the offensive end as well, with 291 kills on a .304 hitting percentage. Wright tied for the team lead with 13 kills and added five blocks in the Captains win on Thursday.
