The landscape of returning All-ODAC talent from the 2024 season is nearly identical to last year's snapshot with 23-of-38 eligible players back in the fold. Different from the previous campaign is the number of returning All-ODAC First Team selections. All but three of the 13-player top team return including five from Washington and Lee.

The Generals also account for all four returning special individual award winners. Reigning ODAC Coach of the Year Tiffany Pins welcomes back ODAC Player of the Year, attacking midfielder Sarah Zimmerman, as well as her younger sister, fellow midfielder and ODAC Rookie of the Year, Megan Zimmerman. The WLU defense – a unit that surrendered just six goals in 23 games last season – boasts the return of ODAC Defensive Player of the Year, centerback Bryn Bissinger.
