The Senior Award was presented to Camilla Blands, and Ericka Russell was awarded for her placement on the SEC All-Freshman Team.

The Every Day I'm Hustlin' Award was given to freshman Carmen McCoy for her tireless work ethic and willingness to do whatever was asked of her. The final award given, the Commitment Award, had five recipients in freshman Kayla Robinson, Butler, Magee, McCoy and Russell.
