Nagle was selected to the All-MAC Freedom Team after a stellar first year with Lebanon Valley. Nagle led the Flying Dutchmen with 2.97 digs per set, while ranking second on the team with 267 digs, fourth on the squad with 63 assists, and fourth on LVC with 26 aces.

Additionally, the libero had 21 digs with two assists and an ace in the 3-1 win over Arcadia University on Oct. 8. The sophomore was presented with an award for her contributions during the season, receiving MAC Freedom Defensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 30.
Jefferys earned All-Conference recognition for the first time in her career, following a strong sophomore season.
