Vardaro started all 13 games on the back line and was often assigned to opposing team's top offensive weapon. He thrived in that role, leading Penn with 17 caused turnovers and coming up with 33 ground balls. The sophomore also scored two goals this season, going behind-the-back both times to tally against Villanova and Brown. He also had an assist against the Wildcats.
 
Till missed the last two games of the season due to injury, and as a long-stick middie he was more limited in his time on the field than the close unit. Nevertheless, the junior was second on the team in caused turnovers, with nine. Also a member of Penn's top face-off unit as a wing, Till scooped up 21 ground balls on the season, and he scored his first collegiate point with a goal at Princeton.
 
McMullan is considered one of the top short-stick defensive middies in the country, so no surprise to see him earn this honor. A regular on the field as well as on the Quakers' face-off unit, he led the team with 45 ground balls and finished with eight caused turnovers. McMullan also took advantage of offensive opportunities when the ball was in his stick, scoring four goals (getting off 22 shots) and dishing off one assist.
 
Provost led Penn in goals (32) and points (43) and was second on the team in assists, with 11. He also was the only player on the roster to score in every game this season. The junior recorded multiple points in 11 of the Quakers' 13 games, going for a career-high six in the season finale vs. UMass and recording five against UAlbany, Villanova and Dartmouth.
 
Scane finished the season as Penn's second-leading goal scorer, with 23, and was third on the team with 28 points. The senior—who moved from attack to midfield as the season progressed due to injuries—had ten multi-point games and seven multi-goal contests, going for four points at UAlbany, against North Carolina, and vs. Cornell.
 
Beacham finished third on the team in goals (16) and assists (8) and was fourth on the team in points, with 24. He scored a goal in all but one game this season and went for multiple points eight times including four times in Ivy League play. That included a hat trick at Dartmouth and three-point games against UMass, Delaware, UAlbany and Georgetown.
 
Cornell's Willem Firth was a unanimous selection as the Ivy League Attackman of the Year, while Princeton's Jack Stahl was the unanimous pick as Defensive Player of the Year. In the other positional awards, Cornell's Jack Cascadden was voted Midfielder of the Year while Princeton's Ryan Croddick was the Goaltender of the Year. Yale attackman Sean Grogan was voted the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, while the Cornell coaches were honored as the Coaching Staff of the Year.
 
Penn finished the season at 7-6 overall and went 3-3 in Ivy League play; the Quakers' season concluded last Friday with a non-conference win over UMass in Farmingdale, N.Y.
