Her 10 goals tied for second in the conference while she led the SUNYAC in goals per game (.588). Two of Liadka's goals were of the game-winning variety. Liadka's All-Conference honor is the fourth of her career, earning Third Team as a freshman and senior while being named Second Team in her sophomore and junior seasons.
