She finished the season with a 15-1 singles record, all at the No. 1 position, and 17-1 in doubles. Urbanek and doubles partner Nadine Geschke are still ranked No. 1 in the nation as a doubles tandem.

The Hawks finished their season 16-3 and fell just short of a trip to the NAIA National Tournament.
