Fisher and Pratt were among 11 student-athletes from the conference's 10 member institutions selected for the honor.
Fisher, a sophomore defender from West Chester, Pennsylvania, has been a key contributor to the Fightin' Blue Hens' defense. She started all 17 games and ranks second on the team in minutes played, with 1,522. Fisher has played the full 90 minutes in 16 of Delaware's 17 contests. The Blue Hens rank third in Conference USA and 96th nationally in goals-against average (0.941) and have recorded six shutouts. Fisher is majoring in biomedical engineering and holds a 4.0 cumulative GPA.
Pratt, a senior midfielder from Sauquoit, New York, is a two-time team captain for the Blue Hens. She has appeared in all 17 games, making 11 starts and logging 896 minutes. Pratt scored the opening goal against VCU on August 20, helping Delaware secure a 3-1 victory over the Rams. She has also recorded two assists this season.
