Danielson completed her first season playing for the Norse after participating in cross country the past two seasons. She started all 19 matches, helping to solidify a back line that allowed just seven goals in league play - with three shutouts - for an 0.97 goals-against average. Overall, Luther allowed 16 goals, tied with Wartburg for second-least among IIAC schools, and posted an 0.83 goals-against average. Luther goalkeeper Lauren Thormodsgard benefited greatly from having Danielson on defense, needing to make only 40 saves in over 1,700 minutes of play over 19 games. The Norse posted seven shutouts overall. Danielson is the fifth Norse player to receive an Iowa Conference Women's Soccer MVP award, joining Nora Farrell (1996), Jen Shinbori (1998-99), Katie Pettigrew (2003-04) and Erin Wilson (2014).
