MANSFIELD, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference announced on Monday its list of 28 student-athletes that have been nominated for 2020-21 Man and Woman of the Year awards. Both honors are selected by the league's Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) Council.
Each nominee is a senior student-athlete that has excelled in all areas of their collegiate careers – on the playing surface, in the classroom and in the community. The two winners are set to be announced the night of Monday, June 7, as part of a pre-recorded live awards show on NE10 NOW.
