Last Thursday (Mar. 4), Veach was selected as an All-GLIAC North Division First Team honoree.

The voting for the Daktronics Midwest Region teams was split evenly, as five players from the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) and five players from the GLVC (Great Lakes Valley Conference) comprised the 10-player team. Veach was joined on the second team by Tiffin's Mandy Jaeb, Northwood's Jodi Ostergren, Michigan Tech's Sarah Stream, and Northern Kentucky's Casse Mogan.

Veach led Grand Valley State in rebounding (5.7 rpg.) and was second on the team in scoring (11.4 ppg.), assists (108), field goal percentage (51.3), and steals (48). She ranked second in the conference in assist/turnover ratio (2.1), sixth in assists, 10th in rebounds and steals, and 19th in scoring.
