To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.0 grade-point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.

A team captain, Howell was named Second Team All-ACC, IWLCA All-Region Second Team and an IWLCA Senior All-Star following her senior season. She led the ACC in ground balls per game, scooping up 2.88 each contest. She led the Cardinals with 46 total ground balls and her 128 career ground balls rank third in program history. Her 1.06 caused turnovers per game and her 2.44 draw controls per game ranked second on the team.
Against Boston College, she picked up a career-high seven ground balls, which also ties for third most ever recorded by a Cardinal in a single game.
Blalock recorded a 3.800 GPA in the spring semester and finished her freshman year with a 3.681 overall GPA. She was named AD Honor Roll, Dean's List and Red and Black Scholar.
A team captain as a freshman, Blalock was named All-ACC Second Team and IWLCA All-Region Second Team.

She led the team with 2.53 goals per game, 3.24 points per game and 1.41 caused turnovers per game.
