COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Five Broncos earned all-conference honors, Sunday morning. Junior Kenzie MacMillan and senior Jocelyn Stephens were named to the All-Mountain West first team, while junior Carly Cross and senior Morgan Padour received All-MW Second Team honors. Freshman Cindy Conner represented the Blue and Orange on the MW All-Newcomer Team.

MacMillan earned the postseason honor after starting all 11 matches, while tallying six goals, three of which were game-winners, and three assists, ending MW play with 15 points. The forward led the MW in shots (53) and shots per game (4.82) and was tied for second in goals (6) and goals per game (0.55) in conference play. MacMillan was named Offensive Player of the Week twice during MW play (Sept. 25-Oct. 1, Oct. 9-15).
Â
Stephens received first team honors after starting all conference matches, having played the full 990 minutes in MW play. The defender led the Broncos' defensive line that allowed only nine goals during conference play, ranking second in the MW in goals allowed and goals against average (0.82).
Â
Cross earned a spot on the second team after starting all 11 contests in MW play, scoring four goals and collecting three assists, finishing with 11 points. The forward finished conference play second in shots (38) and shots per game (3.45).
