For the fourth season in her career, McNamara led the nation in assists per set, this year with a mark of 13.26. She is a four-time All-American and leads the NCAA for all-time assists.

An Academic All-America second team, CoSIDA Academic All-District first team, McNamara is a mathematics major with a 3.87 cumulative GPA.

Noted McNamara, "Winning the Honda Sports Award is an amazing honor and I am very proud to have received this award. I wouldn’t have been as successful as I have without the help of my teammates and coaches, and I share this award with them. I wouldn’t trade my athletic career at Concordia for anything in the world. I am proud to have been a part of such a great organization and look forward to my professional life and coaching.”
