The WGCA honored a total of 1,432 All-American Scholars this season. The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent in all of college athletics. The minimum cumulative grade-point average is 3.50.

Dow and Tyree earned their third-consecutive selection to the All-American scholar team, while Schwienteck received her second honor from the WGCA.
