A combined twenty underclassmen dominated the teams, including the co-players of the year - junior Courtney Opie from Simpson University, and sophomore Lindsey Cesena from William Jessup University.

Holy Names coach Nick Lusson won the Coach of the Year award. Holy Names' Melissa Grimmond won Defender of the Year, Sabel Maguire won Newcomer of the Year and the Hawks' Britney Machado-Potestio won Freshman of the Year.
