Swaby, a native of West Hartford, is the only freshman on the roster to have played and started every game. The 5-foot-8 defender scored her first career goal in a, 1-1, double-overtime draw against then-No. 9 ranked Notre Dame. She notched her first collegiate point on an assist vs. North Florida on August. 31. Swaby is the ninth consecutive Eagles freshman to be named to the conference All-Rookie team.
