Rutledge also earned first-team All-SEC honors, along with LSU senior defender Chelsea Potts. Senior midfielder Melissa Clarke and sophomore defender Allysha Chapman made the second team, while midfielder/forward Carlie Banks made the All-Freshman team.

Rutledge, a unanimous selection to the All-SEC First Team, scored nine goals and racked up 11 assists on the season, leading the SEC with 29 points.
