Three named to first team, two to second
  

(Clockwise from upper-left) First Team All-Midwest Conference selections Mei-Yun Gibson, Melissa Stevenson, and Kristyne Operzedek and MWC Coach of the Year T.R. Bell.

Junior Mei-Yun Gibson (Aurora, CO/Eaglecrest), sophomore Melissa Stevenson (Littleton, CO/Dakota Ridge), and freshman Krystine Operzedek (Deerfield, IL/Deerfield) were first team selections. Gibson scored four times from her sweeper position and anchored a defense that allowed just 13 goals in 19 contests, a new school record for fewest scores allowed per game. Stevenson set single season school records with 17 assists and 51 points and her 17 goals were just two shy of the most in the program's history. The forward led the MWC with 31 points in league play (nine games) and tied for the conference lead in both goals and assists. With 101 saves on the year, Operzedek became just the second goalkeeper in school history to reach the century-mark in a single season. She surrendered just 12 goals and posted a save percentage of .894.

Sophomore Laura Gross (Skokie, IL/Niles West) and junior Sarah Shepherd (Newburgh, ON/Williston-Northampton), who are both defenders, earned second team all-conference honors. Neither recorded a point during the season but both were key members of the school record-setting defensive corps.

Forester Head Coach T.R. Bell was chosen by his piers as the MWC Coach of the Year. Lake Forest finished second in the standings with a 7-1-1 league record but won the conference tournament to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.
