Albion saw seven athletes honored: Lynsey Brearley, Josephine Dunn, Abigail Hubbard, Savannah McDonald, Brenna Staley, Kasish Tank, and Isabella Zarate.

The Flying Dutch led the conference with nine honorees: Miyako Coffey, Makenna Crandell, Kamryn Dumas, Amanda Lopykinski, Sullivan Moran, Hope Rhoades, Kaitlyn Stievater, Phoebe Walker, and Madison Wei.
