In order to be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be of at least sophomore standing and excel both on their field of play and in the classroom. The student-athlete must carry a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.25 to be considered. 

Elmhammar was named to the Southern Athletic Association first team this season after tying for the conference lead in points with 40 and finishing second in the conference with 16 goals. Both of those marks were team highs.
