Four members of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's basketball program were recognized by the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which announced its postseason awards for the 2021-22 season.

Head coach Keri Carollo was selected WIAC Coach of the Year for the fifth time in her career and the third time in the last five seasons.
 
Grundahl was joined on the All-WIAC first team by center Johanna Taylor (Wauwatosa, Wis./East). Both Grundahl and Taylor are now three-time all-conference honorees, with Taylor collecting first team accolades for the third straight year. Guard Kacie Carollo (Whitewater, Wis./Whitewater) garnered honorable mention.
 
Grundahl and Taylor each earned spots on the WIAC All-Defensive Team. Taylor is now a three-time member of that group.
 
All four honorees helped the Warhawks win the WIAC regular season championship and reach the NCAA Division III Tournament for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons. UW-W heads into Friday's first-round game against Ripon with a 23-4 record.
