Thirty-seven Matadors received spring all-academic honors led by softball with seven honorees. Baseball and beach volleyball has six honorees apiece while men’s track & field and women’s tennis had four each. Women’s golf and the women’s track & field team had three honorees followed by men’s golf and men’s volleyball with two apiece. Two men’s basketball student-athletes received spots on the winter all-academic team.

The spring team features student-athletes from baseball, softball, beach volleyball, men’s volleyball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track & field, and women’s water polo.
