Methodist swept all of the individual awards as Chrystal Bradley has been named the Player of the Year, Whitney Roberson is the Rookie of the Year and Monarch head coach Tony Tommasi is the Coach of the Year.

Roberson is currently ranked tenth in the nation in points per game and 12th in goals per game. Additionally, Roberson led the USA South with six game winning goals.

Tommasi, in his first year as the head of the Monarchs, took the program to its first outright conference regular season title since 1995.
