Bentley's historic NCAA run included a five-set win over Ferris State in the national quarterfinals. It was Ferris State's first and only loss of the season.

The Falcons finished the season with an overall record of 26-7. The AVCA's final national poll of 2024 put Bentley at No. 18, marking the program's first-ever national ranking.

For their off-court success, Elizabeth Blinn, Erica Borzone, Jazzy Burke, and Caitlin Wunder each earned Academic All-District honors from College Sports Communicators (CSC).
