Goldey-Beacom's continued success in the classroom resulted in seven basketball players making the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference All-Academic Team.

The women's list included senior Karlee Lemon (Williamsburg, VA), junior Genesis Garcia (Aguada, PR) and sophomores Lydia Betz (Pittsburgh, PA), Marasia Dyes (Binghamton, NY) and Janie Cross (West Deptford, NJ). The men's slate included senior Justin Allen (Boca Raton, FL) and junior Jalen Robinson (South Orange, NJ).

Betz had an outstanding campaign in developing as one of the program's top overall players. She ended 17th in the league with 10.7 points per game, fourth with a .796 free throw percentage, seventh with 1.0 blocks per game and ninth with a .458 field goal percentage.

Allen was a key contributor off the bench in closing with 9.0 points per game and a .507 field goal percentage over 32 contests.

The men's squad (21-11, 13-7 CACC) made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, broke the school record for most victories in a season and played in the CACC final a fourth time.

The Lightning went on an eight-game winning streak from January 6-February 3 and were on a four-game winning streak going into the conference final. It was the third postseason appearance in program history and second in the NCAA era. Goldey-Beacom won the 2007 ECAC championship and competed in the 1999 NAIA Region 10 quarterfinals.
