Grand Canyon senior midfielder McKenzie Cook was selected to the All-WAC first team for a consecutive year, giving her All-WAC honor for each of her four seasons after being a second-team pick in her first two GCU seasons.

In conference play, the senior had two goals and an assist for five points.
