Joining Claxton and Estrada in earning postseason honors from the league were senior guard Tyler Thomas on the All-CAA Second Team, and sophomore guard Jaquan Carlos picking up CAA All-Defensive Team accolades.

Estrada captured CAA Player of the Year honors in back-to-back years, marking the third Hofstra player to win the honor in consecutive seasons.

Claxton becomes Hofstra's second-ever CAA Coach of the Year honoree after Joe Mihalich received the award in 2019. Prior to Mihalich, the last Hofstra coach to earn a conference's coach of the year award was Jay Wright in 2000 and 2001 from the America East Conference.
