Jessica Cameron, of Mt. Mellick, PEI, was the female recipient of the Coaches Award for Castleton in 2016. Every year one male and one female are honored with the Coaches Award. It is given to a top player in one sport who shows leadership and a determination to succeed. The person also displays great sportsmanship while being very coachable and having a sense of responsibility to the team, coach and Castleton.

She helped the team rank as high as No. 6 in the nation and finished the season ranked fifth in save percentage (.947) and second in saves (824). She also became the first goalie in NCAA Division III history to make 800 or more saves and post a save percentage of at least .945 in one season.
