Fratoni was named an Academic All-Patriot League honoree. A consistent member of the Dean's List, Fratoni dished out two assists. She was an All-Patriot League honoree as a freshman.
The Coaches Award, presented to the student-athlete who made notable contributions to the well-being of the team in the areas of attitude, improvement and leadership, went to sophomore Taylor Mygatt. Mygatt enjoyed a strong season, starting all 18 games while scoring a goal. The goal came in a big Patriot League matchup at Colgate. She finished the year with three shots and one on goal.
The Mountain Hawks made great strides in 2013, hanging tough against several nationally-ranked caliber opponents.

The Bald Eagles entered with a 10-3 record, two of the losses coming against top 10 squads North Carolina and Penn State.
