Morin-Boucher, a 5-foot-6 striker, led the QUSL in goals and tied for second among CIS leaders with 11 in 14 games. The 21-year physical education junior finished fourth in the scoring race with 13 points and was selected four times by opposing coaches as 鲍鱼直播's player of the game.

Green, a 5-foot-11 defensive specialist, who struggled with injuries for most of the season, earned all-conference honours for the third straight year. The 20-year-old political science junior had no points in six games.
听
Muccilli, a 5-foot-9 'keeper who turns 18 next week, started in 11 of 鲍鱼直播's 14 matches and posted an unblemished 5-0-4 record with four shutouts. The science freshman registered a 0.67 goals-against average and an .860 save percentage, allowing just six goals on 43 shots.
听
Bahen, a 5-foot-8 defender and two-time all-star, started in all 13 of her contests and played a large role in 鲍鱼直播 registering the fifth-best goals-against record in the nation, allowing an average of 0.64 per game. A 19-year-old sophomore majoring in international development studies, she scored three goals and was picked four times as player of the game.
听
Bourque, a 17-year-old science freshman and a 5-foot-9 midfielder, tallied three goals and assisted on two others in 12 contests.
听
Rivkin, a 5-foot-4 midfielder, scored one marker and tied for second place among conference assist leaders with six. An 18-year-old freshman majoring in international management, she was the team's fourth-leading point-getter with seven.
听
Most of the all-stars will be in action this weekend as two sudden-death semifinals are slated for Friday, with second-place 鲍鱼直播 playing host to third-place Laval at Molson Stadium (6:30 pm) and fourth-place Sherbrooke visiting the division-leading Montreal Carabins.
