Conference Championships and appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first
time. After a strong regular season

the final. When it was all said and done, the team matched its win total from ’08-09

Head coach Sujay Lama was named the Sun Belt Women’s Coach
of the Year while Catalina Cruz, the lone senior on the squad, earned the conference’s
most outstanding player award for her efforts during the conference tournament.
Cruz was also selected as player of the week once during her final campaign. Sophomore
Paula Dinuta registered the best record on the team, winning 13 of her final 15
matches and finishing the year 17-6.
