For the second-straight season, Bachouros was named an honorable mention to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) Team.  The center midfielder and team co-captain finished the campaign tied for the team lead with six assists, and added on a goal for a total of eight points.  She was one of just three players to start all 20 of Emory's games during the season.  Bachouros' one goal was a game-winning strike against Roanoke College on September 10th (the first game-winning goal of her career), and she assisted on the game-winning goals against Chapman University and Maryville College.  The junior also assisted on a pair of goals during a 6-0 win against Agnes Scott College on September 28th.  In UAA play, Bachouros picked up assists in back-to-back games against Brandeis University and New York University.  Bachouros also contributed to an Emory defense that set a school record with just five goals allowed and a 0.242 goals-against average, the third-lowest mark among Division III squads in 2011.  In addition, the Eagles set a new program high-water mark with 16 shutouts during the campaign, and were third in the nation with a 0.8 shutout percentage.  Bachouros helped the Emory defense limit opponents to just 6.35 shots per game and 2.6 shots on goal per game during the campaign.  She was named the UAA Athlete of the Week on September 26th.  At the end of her junior season, Bachouros has scored three goals and assisted on 13 others for 19 points, and is tied for 12th in school history with five game-winning assists. 

Sophomore (2010):

Bachouros earned an honorable mention to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) Team for the first time in her career during her sophomore campaign.  She set a school record by playing in and starting all 22 Emory games last season, finishing the year with one goal and five assists, the second best total on the team.  Bachouros assisted on a team-best three game winning goals during the year, coming during games against Roanoke College (September 4th), Birmingham-Southern College (September 17th), and Agnes Scott College (September 22nd).  Her one goal of  the season came against Case Western Reserve University on October 31st, helping Emory to a 2-1 win.  Bachouros was also a contributor to an Emory defense that recorded a 0.56 goals-against average, the 24th-lowest mark among NCAA Division III teams during the year.  Opponents averaged just 4.1 shots on goal per game against the Eagles' defense, including 11 games of three shots on goal or less.  Bachouros earned UAA Defensive Player of the Week honors on September 20th.
