McAdam was named the best keeper of the weekend, posting 13 saves while allowing just two goals in net.

Ricks-Chambers joined Christine Chuck of Xavier as the only two freshmen to be honored.
After splitting a pair of games, the Hurricanes finished second in the overall tournament standings behind Tournament Champion Marquette, who also won over Xavier Friday night.
