Through the first 19 games of the year Dawley used the same starting line-up (McNamara, Boardman, Spinka, Battram, Cuncic). She changed the line-up to start the second half of the Northeastern game. Against Stony Brook UVM's starting line-up was (Boardman, Spinka, Battram, Cross, Sabourin) with both Cross and Sabourin making their first starts of the season. Dawley changed the line-up again at the start of the second half versus the Seawolves.
