The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2020-21 All-Conference awards for women's basketball. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the shortening of seasons within the fall and winter sports, in addition to the cancelation of NCAA Championship events, the Conference will be limiting the All-Conference honors to First and Second Team All-Divisional recognition. Additionally, for this season, there will be no individual "of the Year" awards. Finally, the USA South will however still recognize an All-Sportsmanship Team consisting of one member from each competing school as selected by their team.
All awards are voted on by the women's basketball coach at each institution. Due to the imbalance of institution's abilities to compete in non-conference contests, only statistics generated in USA South contests were taken into account by the coaches when casting their votes.
The 15-1 East Division Tournament and Regular Season Women's Basketball Champions had four women named to the all-conference second team on Friday. Senior guards Kayla Johnson and Cydney Nichols as well as forwards, senior Myrayna Watkins and sophomore Kayrisma Harrison, were all selected to the 2nd team for the Bishops, who finished unbeaten in Division 3 play this year.
Also selected to the sportsmanship team was senior forward Kneciya Tripp
