That year, Wetmore was named Field Hockey MVP, first team All-Region, first team National Tournament and All-American.

The following year, her team went 16-2, and won the regional championship, but only after Wetmore scored 18 points in the double-overtime championship game to help her team qualify for Nationals again.
