Brasser was a steady force on the course all season long, earning the MIAA Women's Golfer of the Year award, unanimous first team All-MIAA honors and WGCA All-Central Region status after completing the year with a program-record stroke average of 75.8. She won three tournaments and finished inside the top 10 at eight out of 12 events, including six in the top five.
