An NSCAA first team All-American, William Smith College senior Olivia Zitoli was named the Most Outstanding Defensive Player of the NCAA Championship after the Heron defense shut out Capital and Trinity (Texas) to win the program's second National Championship. Zitoli and the rest of the William Smith defense were impenetrable over the past three months. The Herons rang up 16 consecutive shutouts for a school-record shutout streak of 1,455:07 (24 hours, 15 minutes, 7 seconds). William Smith allowed just six goals all season and none since Sept. 28.
