Comeau, the 2013 Most Improved Player, appeared in 17 games with 16 starts as a mainstay on the backline during her second season. A second team member as a freshman, Comeau emerged as one of the finest defenders in the conference and was recognized as such when she was listed as a 2013 Second Team All-GNAC honoree.

Freshman midfielder Desiree Parent (Westborough, Mass.) was chosen as the 2013 Rookie of the Year after tallying five goals and two assists while making an appearance in all 19 contests as a first-year player.

Under the watch of first-year Head Coach Jenelle Harris - the 2013 GNAC Coach of the Year, the Monks went 15-3-1 overall and 9-2 in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play last fall.
