The Southbury, Connecticut native – who was also named to First Team – collected 54 of her 77 points in GNAC play, which was the sixth-highest total, and notched nine points in three conference tournament games, highlighted by a five-point effort (1-4-5) against St. Joseph's (CT) in the semifinals on April 30. DiBeneditto scored a season-high six goals on two occasions: NEC (March 9) and Dean (April 23).

The 2022 GNAC Goaltender and a 2024 GNAC First Team pick, Glyman led the conference in both wins (15) and goals against average (GAA) (7.20), and finished third in saves (148) and save pct. (.523). In conference play, the Tolland, Connecticut native was tops in GAA (4.74) and save pct. (.680), and her 10 GNAC wins was No. 2. Glyman posted a stellar 7.33 GAA and a 57.9 save pct. in three conference tournament wins. She tallied a season-high 19 saves in a win at Simmons on April 20.

The duo was joined on the First Team by junior Madeleine Gould, who led the GNAC with 98 points on 58 goals (tied for No. 6) and 40 assists (No. 3). In GNAC play, the Oakdale, Connecticut native racked up 64 points (38-26-64), which was the second-highest mark. Gould also registered 59 draw controls, which was No. 8 in conference play, and enters this weekend's NCAA Tournament contest with York (PA) with 12 hat tricks, highlighted by six-goal efforts against Lasell (March 26) and Albertus Magnus (April 16). She scored three goals in Sunday's 14-4 win at Emmanuel (MA) in the GNAC Championship.
