Paul was one of five golfers named to the first team. The other members of the squad were Kate Engler and Emily Stone from UW-Eau Claire and Mariah Chesley and Brittany McNett-Emmerich from UW-Stout. Engler, Paul and Stone were all first-team selections in 2013.

Paul was extremely consistent during UW-Oshkosh's six meets. She posted an 18-hole scoring average of 81.3 strokes and scored above 83 just twice in 12 rounds.
Paul's highest finish was first place at the UW-Oshkosh Invitational held Sept. 7. She totaled 165 strokes to share the top listing with Viterbo University's Julia Callaghan.
Paul also finished second at the UW-Stevens Point Mad Dawg Invitational and third at the UW-Whitewater Invitational.
Golfers receiving All-WIAC second-team honors were Megan Ramp and Allison Van Heuklom from UW-Stout, Stephanie Baribeau from UW-Platteville, Tiffany Boak from UW-Stevens Point and Claudia Rhein from UW-Whitewater.
The WIAC also named McNett-Emmerich as its Golfer of the Year.
