UCLA redshirt junior Ryder Dodd earned top honors, being named ACWPC Division I Player of the Year, while Fordham, which had a historic undefeated regular season before falling to USC in the semi-finals, saw head coach Brian Bacharach win Coach of the Year honors and Ilija Duretic be named Assistant Coach of the Year.

Dodd was also named Player of the Match in the NCAA Championship game.

The Division I First Team All-Americans featured three players from USC, two from UCLA, and one apiece from Stanford, Fordam and Pacific.

Salem University highlighted the Division II honorees, with Nikola Krstonosic being named Player of the Year, while the University of Redlands dominated the Division III awards, led by Player of the Year Roberto Barrera.
