Keselica earns All-America honors for the first time in her career and becomes the 13th different player in Virginia history to be named an All-American. During her senior season, she set career highs with nine goals and 24 points. Her six assists this season gave her 26 for her career, fourth most in school history.

Huffman and Keselica were also both First Team All-ACC and All-Mid Atlantic Region selections. They helped lead Virginia to an 18-6-1 record this season and reach the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
