Player of the Year:

Larissa Shannon, Erskine

Larissa Shannon slugged a conference-best 17 home runs while batting .391 on the season. The junior catcher/designated player hit three home runs against archrival Anderson University, including a 3-run walk-off home run. Shannon needs just two more homeruns to tie Erskine's single-season homerun record of 19 set in 2010.

Pitcher of the Year:

Chantel Dodge, Queens University of Charlotte

Senior Chantel Dodge went 20-9 on the mound to earn Pitcher of the Year honors for the second time in her career. Queens' Most Outstanding Female Senior Athlete leads the conference in wins, shutouts and innings pitched, and her 10 shutouts rank her 10th in the nation in the category. Dodge struck out 139 batters this season giving her a total of 736 career strikeouts, the most in Queens' history. Her 1.44 ERA led the Royals to a third place overall finish in Conference Carolinas with a 16-5 league and 28-22 overall record.

Freshman of the Year:

Ericka McCarson, Erskine

The freshman third baseman hit .276 along with seven home runs while leading the team in stolen bases (8) from her lead-off position. Three times McCarson led off a game with a homerun, including hitting one in her first collegiate at-bat against Wingate University. McCarson helped Erskine claim the fourth seed in the conference tournament with a 14-8 league mark and 21-21 overall record.

Coach of the Year:

Jaime Kylis-Higginbotham, Mount Olive College

Jaime Kylis-Higginbotham guided Mount Olive to the East Division regular season league title with a 17-5 conference mark, the Trojans' highest win total in conference play in school history. Mount Olive finished the regular season with a 31-15 mark for the Trojans' first 30-win season since 2007. Mount Olive went 12-2 in its last 14 conference games and won 15 of its last 18 regular season games overall.
