Novakovic claims the first all-conference award of her career as she earned 12 singles wins and too an 11-7 record at the No. 3 spot, while finding a 3-1 record at the No. 3 doubles position with Lesley Foe.
"I am very proud that Fleur and Milica were recognized for their hard work and dedication this year and their results definitely showed that they deserve these honors," head coach Jody Bronson said.
