Eisenhut, who is the 23rd winner since the award's inception in 1980, is a three-sport standout for Union. She was named to the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's All-Conference First-Team after helping the soccer team to the regular-season and league tournament titles. She was named the UCAA's “Rookie of the Year” and selected to the conference's second team after helping the
basketball squad to its finest season in history at 22-5. Eisenhut was a starter at second base while helping the softball team earn the 28-year old program its first-ever invitation to the NCAA tournament.

She also contributed 61rebounds, 64 assists and 69 steals while averaging 23.1 minutes of play.

As a member of the softball team, Eisenhut started 24 of the Dutchwomen's 29 games and scored 11 runs while driving in five for the 26-7 Dutchwomen.

Eisenhut was also chosen as the winner of the President's Commission on the Status of Women Athletic Promise Award.
The award is presented to the underclass female student-athlete who has shown the most promise in the area of women's sports.
