Indiana Wesleyan’s Candace Moats was once again named the Crossroads League Coach of the Year, while IWU’s Eva Joldersma and Abbigail Porter also repeated as the CL Player of the Year and CL Setter of the Year.

Other top honors went to Mount Vernon Nazarene’s Molly Galaszewski as the CL Assistant Coach of the Year, Huntington’s Layla Meyer as the CL Libero of the Year and MVNU’s Evelyn Brown as the CL Freshman of the Year.
