Indiana Tech head coach Jessie Biggs earned Coach of the Year after leading the Warriors to their fourth conference championship with a 19-1 WHAC record. Cornerstone's Jessica Yonkers was voted as Champions of Character Coach.

In addition to All-Conference, the WHAC also named its All-Academic Team for juniors or above in academic standing with a cumulative 3.25 GPA.
