Senior forward Katie Carney of UNLV and junior forward Tamika Wilson of Wyoming garnered MWC Co-Offensive Player of the Year honors, while San Diego State freshman goalkeeper Aubree Southwick earned the MWC Defensive Player of the Year award. Southwick was also selected as the MWC Freshman of the Year, and UNLV coach Kat Mertz collected MWC Coach of the Year accolades for the first time at the helm of the program. UNLV won its second regular-season women's soccer championship this year. BYU and UNLV each had three players named to the all-MWC first team, while Utah and San Diego State each had two first-team honorees. Wyoming also earned one first-team slot.
