His goals total was second in the conference, and his 33 points was good for third in the GPAC. The First Team All-GPAC selection netted two hat tricks on the year as part of four multi-goal performances.

Domingo, a sophomore software engineering major from Santiago de Compostela, Spain, started 15 games this season, dishing out four assists on the year. He had 20 shot attempts with nine on goal from his defensive position, totaling 1,254 minutes played.

Miranda, a sophomore marketing major from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, earned Second Team All-GPAC honors this season.
