Now in its 39th year, The Collegiate Women Sports Awards program
annually recognizes the accomplishments of female athletes in
NCAA-member colleges with a variety of prestigious awards.
These include:
Division III Honda Sports Award: The Honda
Sports Award acknowledges athletic achievement as well as
scholastics and community involvement. The award is given to female
athletes in 12 different NCAA Division III-sanctioned sports
throughout the year.
Athletes are honored for their achievement in sports of soccer,
volleyball, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, basketball,
swimming & diving, lacrosse, softball, golf, tennis and track
& field. Each Honda Sports Award winner is recognized as the
top collegiate female athlete in her sport, and the award is
considered by many as one of the highest honors a female college
athlete can receive in the nation.
Division III Athletes of the Year: Division III
Athlete of the Year awards are given to the nation’s top
collegiate female athletes in their respective Divisions, chosen
from 11 different sports, with each having one nominee derived from
coaches’ panels, All-America committees or finish at the
respective national championship. Sports include basketball, cross
country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming
& diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball.
UW-Oshkosh student-athletes have won the Division III Athlete of
the Year twice, Tiffany (Speckman) Ebensperger in 1997 and Christy
Cazzola in 2014.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. has been a partner of THE
Collegiate Women Sports Awards Program since 1986. Honda has
donated more than $2.8 million in institutional grants to the
athletes' universities over the course of the program.
