She was second on the squad in hits (39) and RBI (32). Nash tied for the UAA lead in home runs and ranks second in slugging and OPS (on base plus slugging). At of the end of the regular season, Nash ranked 13^th in all of Division III in total home runs, 14^th in home runs per game and 57^th in slugging percentage.

Nash's 11 home runs were tied for third on the Judges' single-season list. She became just the second player in school history with 30 career homers in her final game of the season and sits just one shy of the school record. She also ended her season with 99 career RBI, tied for eighth on the career list. Nash will be returning for a graduate season in 2025.
