Her assist mark was also tied for the 14th highest total in program history. She finished top-six in the Ivy League in every offensive metric in 2022 to walk away with her second straight First-Team All-Ivy and United Soccer Coaches First-Team All-District honors.
Bebar played a crucial role in helping the Crimson reach the NCAA Tournament for a second straight season, helping the team earn a top-32 seed and a home game in the first round of the tournament, as well.
