A second-team and all-rookie team honoree, Bukowski ranks third in the conference with 5.46 saves per game.

Bukowski was named both America East Rookie of the Week and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division-I Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Oct. 9, after notching two shutouts on the week and totaling six saves in two games. Those two games were part of her 301:23 shutout streak, which spanned five games, including three full contests.

A 2003 America East all-rookie team member, DiCarlo garnered 2005 honorable mention nods by ranking in the top 10 in the conference in several offensive categories. She is third in the league in goals (10) and goals per game (0.59), sixth in points (20), seventh in points per game (1.18) and eighth in shots per game (2.53).
