This is the third time in the past four seasons Schreyer has been named Region Coach of the Year. Schreyer also received the recognition in 2016 and 2017.

Schreyer guided the Hawks to a No. 2 ranking this season, a fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Division III national tournament and the program's second runner-up finish in the past four seasons.
