Lapert played and started in all 18 games, totaling three goals and an assist to finish third on the team in points (7).

Freshmen Moussa Wade and Ben Awashie were the final two Huskies to receive conference honors, as they were both named to the All-Rookie team. Wade played and started all 18 games at the forward position and scored his first two collegiate goals in the 6-3 win over Tulsa (Nov. 5). He ends the season with five points.
