After breaking out at the 2010 CAA Tournament where he earned CAA Most Outstanding Player honors, Abrigo kept that momentum going during the 2011 campaign for the Tribe. The South Riding, Virginia native led the team this season with 20 points and nine goals, earning First-Team All-CAA and Third-Team All-Region honors. Abrigo had a knack for coming through when it meant most this year, tallying a conference-best five game-winning scores.

With a solid rookie season already under his belt, Smith had an even better year in 2011, earning All-CAA Second-Team accolades. A consistent force and leader on the Tribe's backline, the center back Smith played every minute this season for the College. Smith also helped out on the offensive end this year, tallying an assist in the Tribe's wins over UNC Greensboro and Towson.
