BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Regular season champion Oklahoma Baptist dominated the postseason women's tennis awards announced by the Great American Conference Thursday night with Kateryna Shkot taking Player of the Year and Nick Papac winning Coach of the Year honors.
 
Shkot, Alex Bowers and Kim Moosbacher all earned First Team All-Conference honors with Madeleine Boepple taking Second Team.
