Reitz, a second team selection in 2005 started all 19 games for LHU, leading a defensive unit that produced a 1.65 goals-against-average. Always deadly off set pieces, Reitz chipped in offensively with two assists on the year.

Wagner’s 123 saves this season are the second most during a single season on the Haven’s record books. They also stretch her career mark to 331, which is the all-time mark for the Lady Eagles.
Kafka paced Lock Haven offensively with a team-high nine goals. The senior forward had three two-goal games and three game-winning tallies.
Roth, a speedy and athletic player provided an endless work ethic from her outside midfield spot. The Lady Eagles senior-captain started all 19 games, while scoring two goals to go along with three assists (seven points).
Stonecypher, a second team selection last year was a key contributor in the Haven’s midfield this year. She started all 19 games for LHU and recorded four points, one goal and two assists.
