She led her team with 1.4 steals per game, ranked second in the conference for assist-to-turnover ratio, and finished fourth in America East with her assist numbers.
Over her college career, Weltz earned several honors including being named twice to the America East All-Conference Second Team as well as receiving All-Conference Third Team, All-Defensive Team, All-Academic Team, and All-Rookie Team recognition. She surpassed the milestone of scoring over 1,000 points this season and was also active on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
