Her nine victories were tied for the team high with Danielle Letourneau '15, Reut Odinak '16 and Olivia Wherry '16. She started off the season with four straight victories, then had a string of close matches to close out the campaign. Pacecho split her final six matches, with five of them going to four or five games. She rallied to defeat Xin Tan, 7-11, 11-6, 8-11, 11-4, 11-4, to account for the Big Red's lone point in the Howe Cup quarterfinal against Penn. She then came back from one game down the next day against Stanford's Zandra Ho, helping the Big Red retain its No. 6 ranking. Pacheco finished the season ranked 17th in the country and earned her second CSA All-America Second Team honor and second All-Ivy League honor.

She started the season by making her only appearance at the No. 1 spot, rolling to a three-game victory over Hamilton's Amanda Thorman to kick off a nine-match winning streak. She won both of her matches against entries from Stanford in 5-4 victories that allowed the Big Red to maintain its No. 6 national ranking for a second consecutive season.
