Talent: The lady Dinosaurs team led the country in scoring this season, averaging 83.2 points per game.

Talent: The Dinos came into this season looking to increase their offensive output and were able to do so. They scored an average of 3.60 goals per game, second to the University of Alberta Golden Bears with 4.71.
