controls. She receives this prestigious accolade following a campaign
that saw her post an average of 8.43 draws per game. Sosnowski also
registered 38 points in the process off 31 goals and seven assists to go

Coaches Association All-North Region second-team. Moreover, the NCAA
recognized Sosnowski in the Top-100 in two other statistical categories.
She ranked 40th in ground balls per game (2.79) and 96th in goals per
