Goodchild scored a goal and notched eight assists as the catalyst for Elms' offensive efforts during the 2011 season, helping Elms claim its second NECC Championship tournament victory in the last four seasons. Seven of her eight helpers came against league competition and twice during the regular season, Goodchild delivered two assists in a game. She also connected for two assists in the Blazers' NECC postseason semifinal contest against Mitchell.
