Sophomore Iris Garza was named a Class 1A All-Southeast District midfielder. She was second on the team with seven goals scored, adding four assists and two made penalty kicks, starting 11 matches.

Head coach Edgar Aguirre was named Class 1A Southeast District Coach of the Year.

The Wildcats led the Superconference in assists and made and attempted penalty kicks.
