This marks the third time both teams have been named to the All-Academic list since Head Coach Kelly Sullivan took over the programs. Additionally, nine men and 13 women earned Western Athletic Conference All-Academic honors. More than 150 teams were honored by the USTFCCCA.

Below is the criteria for being named an All-Academic Team.
