The A10talk.com Women’s Basketball Awards are back for a 7th season!
Each year, each coach in the Atlantic 10 votes for several awards which are both individual and all-conference and it is always an interesting exercise to see how our combined voices compare to that of the 15 coaches.
Here listed alphabetically are the panelists that voted for our awards, which again are not the official results:
Daniel Frank, Kaily Godek, Natalie Heavren, Jacob Munch, Zach Austin, and Zac Weiss.
Without further ado, here are this year’s award winners!
