Chiefs' infielder and pitcher Nicole Krupp was selected the ISCC's Player of the Year, while first baseman and part-time pitcher Megan Arcivar, shortstop Autumn Sullivan and outfielder Tori Isom were each named All-ISCC. In addition, Krupp was the lone Waubonsee player chosen to the All-Region First Team.

Additionally, the sophomore right-hander won six games in the circle and registered a .982 fielding percentage, making just three errors in 164 chances. For her Waubonsee career Krupp finishes as the Chiefs' all-time leader in home runs with 22 and total bases with 241, while tying Alora O'Malley-Molk's (2014-15) mark for doubles with 33.
