Hebert was ninth at regionals, helping the Pioneers to a sixth-place finish at the tournament, their best showing as members of Division II.

Stone's scoring average of 73.24 led the team and ranked fourth among all CCAA golfers, earning him All-CCAA first-team honors in his sophomore season. He captured two individual tournament championships, posted five top-10 finishes and was twice named CCAA Golfer of the Week.
