The Liberty League Player of the Year, she also scored 31 runs and recorded a club-best 39 runs batted in.

Bach, who was also a unanimous selection to the All-Liberty League First Team, led the Liberty League in batting average, hits, home runs, total bases (100) and slugging percentage and ranked second in on-base percentage. She currently ranks 11th nationally in home runs and became RPI's all-time leader in home runs (28) in April.
