Brendan Anderson, Tim Dean, Jake Engelstad, Kevin Hilpert, Brian Lindberg and Dillon Sterle all represented the Saints on the all-conference list. Second place Northwestern College had three individuals named to the all-conference team, including Stephen Fread, Joshua Fread and Jeremiah Schneck. David Blumer and Jeff Huber from Bethany Lutheran College were honored with all-conference accolades, while Jon Kehl from Martin Luther College was also selected.
