Andres Mercedes led Guilford as the ODAC Rookie of the Year. Averett's Philipp Bohnenkamp became the Cougars first ODAC/Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Shenandoah mentor Jason Cole earned ODAC Coach of the Year plaudits after seeing his Hornets go 7-2 in league play, their best finish since joining the ODAC in 2012-13.
