Richardson led the NEWMAC in batting average (.481), doubles (14) and RBI (34) and ranked in the top 10 in the following categories: hits (50, 2nd), runs (28, 10th), triples (2, 7th), total bases (71, 6th), sacrifice flies (3, 2nd), stolen bases (8, 8th), on-base percentage (.517, 2nd) and slugging average (.683, 3rd).

Defensively, she had a .982 fielding percentage (she also played second base and left field) and threw out eight of 21 baserunners (second in the NEWMAC).
