Green, a Nutrition & Dietetics major holding a 3.95 GPA, was named the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Defensive Player of the Year, anchoring the DU backline as a center back. Ishman, whom earned numerous Defensive Player of the Week accolades, was named to the NACC's First Team as a goalie and holds a 3.87 GPA as a Nursing major.
