The Big Ten awards were voted on by the conference's coaches.

Grace Park - All-Big Ten first team
Park has led the Illini all season long, finishing in the top ten in seven of her ten tournaments on the season. Back in September, Park tied for the second-best 54-hole individual tournament total in program history, carding a 207 (-6) to finish tied for second overall. The San Jose, California, native also posted the ninth-best individual round in school history with a 67 (-4) at the tournament. The senior holds a team-leading stroke average of 72.21 and is the reigning Big Ten Golfer of the Week. 

Bing Singhsumalee - All-Big Ten first team

The junior carries a stroke average of 72.66 and has made a number of changes to the Illinois record book this season, including tying for the third-best 54-hole hole tournament total in program history at the Mercedes Benz Intercollegiate (208 (-5)).
