Snyder, a junior third baseman, hit .416 and slugged 1.000 with a double, two home runs, and five RBI in three games while leading Luther to the title at the 2011 Iowa Conference Softball Tournament. She opened her tournament with an RBI single in Luther's first tournament game, a 7-0 win over No. 5-seed Loras on May 5. In the winner's bracket championship game against Coe on May 6, she ended the game with a walk-off 3-run home run in the fifth inning. The next day, in the tournament championship game, she added a solo shot that tied the game at 5-5 and sent the game into extra innings. The Norse prevailed in the eighth inning.
