Bingham's players have earned a total of 10 all-region and 30 all-conference honors - including two first-team all-region and seven first-team all-conference honors. WOU players earned two major conference awards under Bingham - Hannah Rispler was named the 2022 GNAC Defensive Player of the Year and Danielle VanOrd was named the 2019 GNAC Newcomer of the Year.
