"Spivey had so much growth this season," began Corban head coach Taylor Kelly on his three-point shooting expert. "He committed to areas of growth in his game and continued to home in on ways to expand his strengths. He was one of the best players on the court nightly, and I'm really excited for him because he is very deserving of this honor."

Word was named to the 2025 All-Conference Team after completing a high-scoring season where he led the Warriors in points per game (13.8), steals (43), and three-pointers made (50), all while shooting 42.2% from the field and 35.7% from beyond the three-point arc. He started in 24 contests played in 2024-25 and was one of three Warriors to appear in all 29 matchups.

His scoring prowess was highly sought after within the CCC, as he finished within the conference's Top 15 scorers on average and in three-pointers made, while representing one of eleven student-athletes to eclipse over 400 points scored during the 2024-25 slate. In addition to his offense, his defense at the top of the key was one of the best in the conference as one of four men's basketball players to log over 40 steals, which his 1.5 pockets picked per game ranked sixth among the 12 conference members.

"Luc was battling all season through multiple injuries and laid his body on the line for is nightly," Coach Taylor shared regarding one of his many senior leaders who stepped up to lead the program this season. "When he was at his peak, he was as dynamic of a player as we had in the conference. He showed up for us every night and gave us so much despite how he was feeling. I'm so thankful for him and the way he competed for us all year."

The team's leading rebounder and second-highest scoring player on average behind only Word, Krystkowiak hauled in nearly 150 rebounds on the season just under six per night, all while averaging 12.8 points per game. He was one of three Warriors with double-digit block totals during the 2024-25 campaign and played the third most minutes per game played at exactly 24 minutes played per matchup.

Another Top 20 scorer within the conference for Corban men's basketball, Krystkowiak ranked 18th overall in points per game and his team-high 55.6% shooting from the field was ninth highest in the CCC. From a rebounding perspective, Krystkowiak found himself in 12th overall within the rebound-heavy conference, specifically 13th from a conference standpoint for defensive rebounding.
