She was third on the team in both shots-taken (12) as well as shots-on-goal (seven). Her SOG% of .583 became her new bench mark for a single season. Her lone goal came in the game at Jessup, as after she set up a goal for Kaitlyn Currier, Penick potted her 10th career goal. She sparked the offesne with two assists at Menlo on October 31 to end the year with five points.
2023: Penick was mustered into service in nine games with seven starts, as some injuries hurt her season. She still logged 569 minutes and reached at least 40 minutes of action in all but one game. She scored two goals, one at home against Midland and one on the road against Hope International, with assists coming at home to Saint Katherine and on the road at Life Pacific.

She was named an All-GSAC Player and the Freshman of the Year for the conference as a reward. She finished with 64 shots, 31 of which were on target, and played 1,355 minutes, hitting 90 minutes three times. While the first game of the season against Soka did not give her any stats, Penick would get in the book with a shot or point in every game the rest of the way. Her nine shots at home against La Sierra was a season-best, while she twice had five shots on goal.
