Freshman Phillip McCormick was a First-Team honoree and the GSC Freshman of the Year. He scored a team-high 11 goals. Senior midfielder Odie Guzman was also on the First Team and tied for the Bison lead with five assists. Second-Team honorees included senior Carter Truax (6 goals, 5 assists) and junior Chad Marshall (2 goals, 2 assists). With Marshall as its top defender, the Harding defense recorded a school-record tying five shutouts.
