Men’s basketball was named the Male Team of the Year after going 21-13. Volleyball took home honors for Female Team of the Year after finishing 19-11.

The Male and Female Athlete of the Year awards went to sophomore football cornerback Shawun Lurry and women’s tennis senior Nelle Youel.

Youel finished her career at NIU by posting a school record of 89 singles victories over four years. The senior also had a 20-0 dual meet record in her final year.
