Emma Mulligan and Charlotte Forniss received First Team All-GNAC nods. Miah Lusk, Kellcie Adams, Keana Bell, and Clarissa Moreno were all named Second Team All-GNAC, with Lusk also picking up GNAC Freshman of the Year honors. Ava Clark also earned Honorable Mention All-GNAC recognition.

Mulligan earned First Team honors at second base for the second-straight season, and this is her third overall All-GNAC honor as she also was named Honorable Mention as a freshman in 2021. The redshirt-senior hit .322, racking up 48 hits, 40 runs scored, 13 doubles, seven home runs, 30 RBIs, 19 walks, and 15 stolen bases. She was third in the GNAC in both runs scored and stolen bases, while also ranking fifth in doubles, tied for seventh in home runs, ninth in hits, and 10th in walks.

Forniss receives the second First Team all-conference nod of her career, also earning First Team and Freshman of the Year honors in 2022. The utility player hit .324 with 46 hits, 16 runs scored, 10 doubles, seven home runs, and a team-leading 43 RBIs this season while also registering a 2.68 ERA in 49.2 innings in the circle. She was fourth in the GNAC in RBIs, fifth in ERA, seventh in opposing batting average, and tied for seventh in home runs this year.

Lusk's Freshman of the Year selection is the fifth for the NNU program since joining the GNAC in 2002. She immediately took over the top starting spot in her first collegiate season, throwing 118 innings across 33 appearances for the Nighthawks and registering a 3.32 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, four complete games, ten wins, four saves, and 108 strikeouts. Her strikeout total led the conference, while she was also second in innings pitched, tied for second in saves, tied for fourth in wins, sixth in opposing batting average, and seventh in ERA.

Adams receives her first All-GNAC nod at catcher in her senior season. She hit .283 with 30 hits, three doubles, 17 RBIs, and five walks. She was also tied for the GNAC lead among catchers in runners caught stealing with 12 on the year while only allowing 14 stolen bases.

Bell earns her first All-GNAC honor after taking over the starting third base role this year as a sophomore. She hit .293 with 36 hits, 17 runs scored, 14 doubles, four home runs, 20 RBIs, and 16 walks. Her doubles mark was tied for third in the GNAC this year. 

Moreno was picked Second Team All-GNAC for the third year in a row at shortstop. She hit .306 in her senior season with 45 hits, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles, three home runs, 28 RBIs, and 14 walks. She was also tied with teammate Bell for third in the conference in doubles. 

Clark rounds out the recognitions with an Honorable Mention selection, the first All-GNAC pick of her career. She started every game in center field and hit .328 with 45 hits, 33 runs scored, eight doubles, 24 RBIs, 32 walks, and 15 stolen bases. She was second in the GNAC in both walks and stolen bases and eighth in both runs scored and on-base percentage.
