In 20 games this year, Quinnipiac posted multiple defensive saves in six games including two against two-time NCAA National Champion UConn on Sept. 4. The Bobcats followed with two more in a 2-1 win against and also recorded a season-high of three on three different occasions – in a 3-2 loss to Michigan State, a 4-1 loss to Maine and a 2-1 win against Holy Cross.
King was the Bobcats' defensive leader for the second straight season while she also captures the National Statistical Championship for the first in her career.

Lily Shemo (Luzerne, Pennsylvania) recorded two defensive saves, while Meghan McCullough (Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania) and Megan Osanitsch (Harwinton, Connecticut) stopped one each.
