On the pitch, Riccio started all 19 games for the Falcons and finished tied for the team lead with five assists. She also ended the year third in the team with 11 points (3g, 5a), all while being a vital member of the team's backline. Riccio and the Falcons' defense ranked fifth in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) with a 1.21 goals-against average.

She has earned GNAC All-Academic Team honors twice and Dean's List accolades in her academic career. Riccio is a member of Albertus' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Student Government Association, and Student Alumni Association.
As a team, the Falcons posted a 9-6-4 overall record and a 6-4-3 mark in the GNAC. No. 6-seeded Albertus upset No. 3 Emmanuel (Mass.) College in the GNAC Quarterfinals before falling in the Semifinals at No. 2 Lasell University.
