The honor is her third of the season (second individually and earler this year she joined Lucia Sainz as co-winners of the award). Winterhalter became only the third women's tennis player in school history to record 100 career singles victories. She beat Loyola Marymount's Sladjana Kos 6-3, 5-7, (10-8) after being down 8-4 in the super-tiebreaker to capture her 100th victory.

Also nominated: Andy Underwood (baseball), Laura Luethke (women's golf), Jakub Cech (men's tennis), Mallory Webb (women's track and field).
