Farrugia was also awarded 'Best Athlete' at the 2013 Macquarie University Sporting Awards.[4] In 2015, she became captain of the club's division one side, a role she continued into the 2016.[1] She was awarded the Mostyn Medal as the SWAFL's best and fairest player in the 2015 season.[1] She finished second in the 2016 award, behind Sydney University's, Nicola Barr.[4]

Upon completion of the 2017 AFLW season, Farrugia once again returned to captain Macquarie University who finished the 2017 season in 3rd place. Farrugia's brilliant form was once again rewarded with her second Mostyn Medal, as best & fairest player for the Sydney Women's premier division. Nicola Barr polled highly once again to finish runner-up.
