The midfielder Ehrenfreund finished his 64-match career with 33 points on nine goals and 15 assists. The assist total is the fourth highest in team history.
 
The von Schiller Prize is awarded in honor of Manfred von Schiller (the program's head coach from 1959 to 1998) to a player who displays team spirit, leadership and integrity. Kantrowitz finished with four goals and an assist in his 64 matches as a defender. He represented the Continentals on the 2024 NESCAC Fall All-Sportsmanship Team.
 
The Coaches Award is given to the team's most valuable player on and off the field. Margaronis finished his 54-match career with 23 points on eight goals and seven assists as a midfielder. Peplowski collected this award for the second year in a row. The midfielder finished his career with 57 points in 61 matches on 20 goals and a team record-tying 17 assists.
