Player of the Year:

Jake Ternosky – Limestone College

Limestone junior face-off specialist Jake Ternosky lead Conference Carolinas in face-off percentage at an eye popping .826, taking 62 of 75 attempts within conference games, while also leading the league among field position players with 32 ground balls in five conference contests. Failing to win possession only 13 times, 18 of Ternosky's controls at the center "x" led to Limestone goals on those immediate offensive possessions in which the Saints maintained the ball. His efforts lead the nationally No. 4 ranked Saints to the Conference regular season title for the fourth consecutive season with a perfect 5-0 mark and 12-1 overall. On the season Ternosky ranks No. 2 nationally in NCAA Division II men's lacrosse in face-off win percentage at .700 (159-of-227) while muscling his way to 68 ground balls.

Freshman of the Year:

Luke Gillespie– Pfeiffer University

Luke Gillespie anchored the Falcons defense that allowed a slim 5.83 goals against average in 2012. Gillespie registered six goals with four assists totaling 10 points on defense while amassing a team-high 60 groundballs. The freshman also contributed to the Falcons and their man-down defense which ranked fifth-best nationwide to help them to a 10-5 overall mark and 4-1 league record.

Coach of the Year:

Chris Barrett – Belmont Abbey College

Chris Barrett was named the Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year in his first year as a head coach for the Crusaders. With his selection, all three of the Abbey's men's lacrosse coaches in its history have been named Coach of the Year in their first year on the Crusader sideline. Barrett guided an offense that saw five players score at least ten goals, one short of a program-high, while seven players registered double digit points, which is just one shy of the school record to lead the Abby to a 2-3 league mark and 5-8 overall record.
