Fairchild, a public health major and the Centennial Conference runner-up at 184, finished with a 21-10 record. Goodman, a double major in business administration and finance, went 14-7 and placed in three tournaments. Horvath was 18-6 and placed in five tournaments, while Loniewski, the CC runner-up at 141, led the team in wins with a 27-9 record. A double major in finance and accounting, McCaw compiled a record of 21-10 and placed in five tournaments.

Additionally, the team recorded the 24th-highest GPA in Division III, compiling an impressive 3.526 mark.
