Seventeen Biola student-athletes earned Academic All-PacWest recognition in two sports. The Eagles also accounted for 10 of the conference's 172 perfect 4.0 cumulative grade-point averages.

The Eagles were one of only three institutions to lead or tie for the conference lead in at least three sports, joining Menlo (five sports) and Vanguard (three). Biola's men's track & field program also finished with the second-most Academic All-PacWest honorees of any men's team, trailing only Menlo baseball.
