After scoring against Monmouth, Tofig tallied a career-high two goals against Towson which helped propel Lehigh to four wins in five games. She scored at least one goal in each of the victories, including two goals against Sacred Heart. Tofig earned Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honors after that weekend, which also included a goal in a league-win over Holy Cross. She scored just over one minute into the game at Lafayette and tallied an assist in the season finale against La Salle.
Â
Sofi Laurito of Boston University was named the Patriot League's Offensive Player of the Year while American's Grace Wilson earned Defensive Player of the Year. Angela Virtu of America earned Rookie of the Year while Bucknell's Jeremy Cook was named Coach of the Year.
