The freshman forward finished 4th overall in the country in goals scored with a total of 21, this included three game-winning goals on the season. Amezcua finished the regular season with an exclamation mark scoring four goals against Chandler-Gilbert cementing postseason awards for the conference and region. The historic season included two games with four goals and one game with three goals. Amezcua is poised to return in 2024 along with a strong cast of returning freshmen.

Giuriatti concluded her final season with Cochise earning conference and region recognition for her defensive efforts for the Apaches. Although defense was Giuriatti's main position, she scored 4 goals off of 12 shots the season, with one assist. Two of the four goals Giuriatti scored this season were game-winning goals. Along with the offensive and defensive stats, Giuriatti also had a strong leadership presence for the Apaches.
