Individually, the team was led by a trio of players, goalie Patric Santiago, sweeper Luke Gentile and stopper George Scarpias. Santiago was named the most valuable player of the Rams Invitational and had 3 shutouts during the season. Gentile was named 2nd team All-ECAC after being named to the All-Tournament team's at the Rams Invitational and Manhattanville Invitational.
