The Mustangs' three selections were tied for the most of any school in Division III and were part of eight total selections from the CAC, joining Kylor Berkman and Kevin Maynard of Salisbury, Charlie White of Mary Washington, Kirk Waldie of Wesley and Steve Mersinger of York (Pa.).

The CAC totaled eight of the South's 17 goals as Berkman also finished with three and White added one.
