Hinton was at 301 and tied for 31st.

A total of 10 players were named to the All-American first team and seven more were second-team selections. Tereshko and Hinton were among 20 players on the third team.

Tereshko was also the Heartland Conference Player of the Year. Both Tereshko and Hinton were also first-team All-HCAC performers and were named to the All-Great Lakes Region first team.
