NEW ORLEANS – To the victor went a majority of the spoils as the Sun Belt Conference announced its postseason awards and all-conference teams Thursday.
Sarunchana Rattanasin was named the league's Freshman of the Year and first-team all-conference, while Mia Kness was named Newcomer of the Year and Mimi Burke was named the Coach of the Year. Abby Newton also earned first-team All-Sun Belt accolades.
Georgia Southern won its first Sun Belt Championship in April, earning the league's bid to the NCAA Championship. The awards were voted on by the league's coaches, and all-conference kudos were determined by Golfstat rankings.
