Freshman Talia Tossone was named the Most Consistent Gymnast. Tossone competed thirteen beam routines this season and did not fall once.

Co-captains Angela Ferg and Rachel Colon shared the Senior Leadership honor.
Maryland men's golfer Tyler Whitman received the "Driving Miss Daisy" Award. Whitman's car became known as the "freshmen bus", because he drove the freshmen almost anywhere they wanted to go.
