Following her freshman and sophomore seasons she was named to the Academic All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team and received the Lewis' Delahanty Award for academic excellence among student athletes.

On the field Kettel's team-high nine goals tied her for fourth in the GLVC. She also notched two assists for 20 points during the season. Kettel registered a team-high three game winning goals.
