Seven players received All-Ivy honors, including co-captain Russell Young '08, who was named Ivy League Pitcher of the Year. Erik Bell '08 was named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Second Team, while Damon Wright '08 and Nick Santomauro '10 were named to the All-New England First Team.

In an interview with The Dartmouth, Harper cited a great recruiting year in 2008, maturation of current Dartmouth student-athletes and key upgrades to athletic facilites as contributing factors that have strongly benefited the Big Green athletic program. "Some outstanding individuals are heading our way, and you have a whole group of players who got a lot of experience [this year]," she said. Harper credited the recent facilities upgrades with helping Dartmouth face recruitment challenges.
