For Deng Deang, his First Team selection for the Eagles follows his transfer from Southeastern Iowa Junior College in the NJCAA. Deang led the team in scoring with 15.8 points per game which ranked him seventh in the CACC while collecting 7.6 rebounds per game which was also seventh best in the conference. Playing and starting in all 27 regular season games for Post, the St. Cloud, Minnesota native collected seven double-doubles during the year while shooting just under 50% from the floor at 49.3% this season, ranking 16th in the conference and first on the team, and held a 30.3% shooting percentage from beyond the arc.

Akot finished the regular season having averaged 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game for the Eagles while shooting 42% from the floor in just under 32 minutes per game.
