On the year, Dietrich led the team with 55 points on the season, as he converted 13 field goals and 16 extra points. He ranked eighth in all of NCAA DIII with 1.44 field goals per game and also 14th in Division III with an 81% success rate on field goals this season. Four of his 14 field goals were greater than 40 yards, including his program-record 49-yard field goal set earlier this season. He was also named ECFC Special Teams Player of the Week on four separate occasions.

Dietrich was the ECFC's lone representative on the All-America teams, and one of just three representatives from SUNY schools. Ryan Peebles of Cortland, and Marquis Artis of Buffalo State were picked to the 1st and 3rd Teams respectively at the return specialist and linebacker positions.
