Katy Sarem as a freshman was named to the ASC West-Division All-Freshman team. This is her first season to be named to the Academic All-Conference team.

Overall, 24 student-athletes from ASC men's and women's basketball teams were named to the Distinguished Scholar-Athlete Team. 

The Distinguished Scholar-Athlete team is in its second academic year, recognizes student-athletes that achieve a higher level of academic achievement (a 3.20 grade-point average or better) while competing as a starter or important reserve on their team. From that list – limited to one nominee per school in each ASC championship sport – the Sports Information Directors from the conference's 15 member institutions vote on a Distinguished Scholar-Athlete from each sport. 

To be eligible for ASC All-Academic honors, student-athletes must have lettered in the 2008-09 season, be in at least the second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or better.
