The Broncs were honored as the UTPA Male Academic Team of the Year for having the highest GPA among men’s teams during the fall semester. The Broncs finished the school year with the highest GPA among all 14 sports. Bernstein earned Southland Conference All-Academic Honors.

Both seasons the Bobcats finished their regular season schedule unbeaten and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament. Goode took the team from ninth to first in the conference in just four years.
