SCAC Woman of the Year

The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Woman of the Year award was established for the 2005-06 athletic season.

Each year, the winner of the SCAC Woman of the Year award is nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year, one of the most prestigious honors the NCAA bestows.

The award recognizes senior student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Each NCAA conference, and independent institutions, can nominate a distinguished female student-athlete for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics will select the top 10 winners in each division in August. From those 30 honorees, the selection committee will determine the top three in each division (September). Finally, the members of the CWA will vote from among the top nine finalists to determine the Woman of the Year.
