All five starters on UW-Whitewater's 2019 team were named all-conference, including four first team selections.

In 2019, the Warhawks started the NCAA championship in 13th and held the position firmly through the final round. Under Wieland's leadership, UW-Whitewater set school records for lowest team 18-, 36-, 54- and 72-hole scores. CheyAnn Knudsen became the program's first All-Region honoree since 2012.
