Fairleigh Dickinson's  Michele Holzwarth (/) (Berlin, Germany) was voted the 2010 NEC Women's Golfer of Year just 10 days after leading her Knights to the 2010 Conference crown, while also securing second place in ChampionsGate, FL at ChampionsGate Golf Club. Lisa Warrilow (Gnosall, Stafford, UK/) (Gnossal, Stafford, UK) joined Holzwarth on the First Team, while Eva Mayr (Schwendi, Germany, /) (Schwendi, Germany), earned a selection to the All-NEC Second Team.

An unprecedented five-time Golfer of the Week, Holzwarth placed in the top-10 at every tournament she played during the 2009-10 season, twice winning and thrice coming in second. The junior shot a season-low 68 in the first round of the Yale Invitational during the fall season, where she placed first, and improved her card by one stroke each round of the NEC Championship (77-76-75=228). The Berlin, Germany native ends her season with a league-best 76.60 strokes per round. Holzwarth also earned a spot on the All-NEC First Team for her efforts.

Warrilow finished fourth at the NEC Championship (79-81-76=236). Warrilow also earned weekly honors throughout the season, most notably for her first-place finish at the St. James Plantation Invitational, shooting a two-round 171 en route to her second-of-three NEC Golfer of the Week nods. She also finished first in the Knights Golf Invitational with a 77 in the single-round tournament.

Representing FDU on the All-Conference Second Team is Mayr, the 2007 NEC Golfer and Rookie of the Year. She ends her career as consistently as she started, with her fourth All-Conference selection. The senior completed the NEC Championship in ninth (84-80-78=242) after playing her best round on the final day.

Previously announced, as voted on by his peers at the conclusion of the 2010 Northeast Conference Championship tournament, Robert Morris head coach Jerry Stone was tabbed the NEC women's golf Coach of the Year.
