After putting up 21 points in 24 games in her rookie season, she was named to the All-Star Game and named on the NWHL's Fans’ Three Stars of the Year.[6][7] She was also a finalist for the NWHL's Newcomer of the Year award. That year, she set the NWHL record for most power-play points in a single season.[8]
