In conference matches, she averaged 3.32 kills, 2.63 digs and 3.71 points per set. She finished ranked third in kills (3.43 kps), fourth in points (3.90 pps) and ninth in service aces (0.24 saps), while in league matches she was fourth in kills (3.32 kps) and points (3.71 pps). She also ranked in the top-15 in digs per set in overall and MWC matches (2.53 and 2.63, respectively).
Purdy is the top-rated MWC freshman in kills and points per set in both overall and league matches. She had double-figures in kills 24 times and digs 14 times, while recording 12 double-doubles. With 395 kills for the season, it ranks 14th all-time on the single season list.
