The campaign saw Brittany Raphino named a Second Team All-American and the Ivy Offensive Player of the Year, Kayla Duran named a CoSIDA Academic All-American and the Ivy Defensive Player of the Year, and seven players in total selected to the All-Ivy League teams.


In 2019, in addition to her Ivy Coach of the Year nod, McNeill was named New England Soccer Journal Coach of the Year, and the leader of the 2019 East Region Staff of the Year. She guided the Bears to a historic season in which the team earned its first Ivy League title and NCAA appearance since 1994. Brown set program records for wins in a season (14), home wins in a season (11), and shutouts in a season (13).


In 2019, the Bears posted an overall record of 14-2-3 alongside an undefeated 6-0-1 mark in Ivy League play, finishing the year unbeaten in conference play for the first time since 1994. Brown notched an 11-0-1 mark at home, including an 11-0-0 record during the regular season.
