For his efforts, MacDonald was named to the HVMAC All-Conference team.

The Pratt Institute was the runner up with 14 points, and the Webb Institute and regular season champion Sarah Lawrence also finished ahead of the Mount with 12 and nine points, respectively.

Mount Saint Vincent finished the 2006 season with an 0-11 record, however the team was competing for the first time since the 2004 campaign. With MacDonald as the only graduating senior, the Dolphins are expected to be even more competitive when the 2007 campaign rolls around.
