Schreyer, the 2017 Williams Award National Coach of the Year, was named Region Coach of the Year in 2016 and 2017. In April, he was named USA South Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for the third time in the past four seasons.

Under his guidance, the second-ranked Hawks won their first USA South Conference Tournament this season. Huntingdon set a NCAA-era program record with a 23-under-par 841 to win the conference tournament by 26 strokes.
