A total of 18 student-athletes were named to the team as voted on by the league's faculty athletic representatives. The number of honorees on the Academic All-MAC Team is the number that is set for the specific sport or 33 percent of the number of nominees, whichever is greater.

Her 406 career blocks are fourth all-time in UB volleyball history, with her 324 career block assists ranking fourth and her 82 career solo blocks ranking eighth in school history.
