Another Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball regular season is in the books and that means it is time for another edition of the A10 Talk Women’s Basketball Awards.
These awards are not the official ones awarded by the conference coaches, but rather voted on by a panel which extensively covers the conference.
Everyone has a different criteria they use when placing these votes and in one of the more talented seasons across the conference, which made voting extremely challenging.
With advance apologies to each team’s fans, coaches and SIDs, below is how the voting turned out.
