Wheeler, a junior from Bel Air, Md., started all 20 matches in the regular season. Wheeler led the team in assists (5) and registered seven points in her past six games. Wheeler eclipsed the 30-point mark for her career with an assist against St. Mary's (Md.)
Spadin, a sophomore from Delmar, Md., transferred into the program after one year at Division I UNC Wilmington and made an immediate impact for the Maroon and Gold, posting three goals and being an integral part of the midfield. Spadin started in 16 of the 18 games she appeared in and scored a game-winner against Gettysburg.
Jankowski, a senior from Baltimore, Md., is a team captain and made the transition from forward to defense. Jankowski still made her presence known offensively, posting a goal and an assist while helping the Sea Gull backline to eight shutouts.
