Cividanes, who was named Second-Team All-Conference at both designated player and utility player as well as to the All-Rookie squad, was one of just two players in the NE10 at the time of the selection to boast an on-base percentage above .500, sitting at .509, second in the league and fourth nationally among freshmen. She finished with a .345 batting average including three home runs in 34 games, walking 27 times as well, and driving in 20. Over the course of the season she played at designated player but also catcher, first base, and right field.
AIC's infield occupied a trio of Third-Team All-Conference spots with Destiny McGrath at shortstop, Kodi Gora at third base, and Julia Krijgsman at utility. McGrath was among AIC's leaders with a .307 average, collecting 35 hits including four home runs and tying with Gora for the team lead with 22 runs scored. Gora also led AIC with 21 RBI, batting .297 and leading AIC with five longballs and six doubles. Krijgsman hit .302 with five doubles and 14 RBI, splitting time between first base and the pitching circle, where she started 13 of her 15 appearances and threw three complete games.
Cividanes was accompanied on the All-Rookie Team by Lauryn Ramalho and Morgan Bemont. Ramalho became a fixture in AIC's lineup in right field, succeeding in 41 of 42 chances including turning a 9-3 double play against Saint Anselm as she played in all 34 games. Bemont mostly played at second base in her 18 games, generating a .317 on-base percentage and collecting 30 putouts and 15 assists.
Finally, Riley Sullivan earned a spot on the All-Defensive Team at pitcher. She was one of a small number of hurlers to not commit an error defensively during conference play, despite being one of just six to throw over 70 innings in NE10 action; she appeared in the circle in each of AIC's final 10 games, starting nine of those contests.
