Off the mat, Won had 18 student-athletes named to the NCATA Academic Honor Roll, while Hannah Esterman was the Louise Goodrum Academic Achievement Award recipient.

Won led the Ducks to a 5-4 overall record during her first season. Oregon finished the 2018 season at the NCATA semifinals, where they fell to No. 1 Baylor, 281.410-277.725.
