Launceston-raised Tayla Roberts captured her first MVP award on Sunday night in the 24-year-old’s sixth year.
Captain Lauren Mansfield added to her 2014 honour in spite of missing four of the Tornadoes’ 22 outings for Australian Opals duties.
The club decides on the most valuable player award over the players’ overall season performance rather than week-by-week voting.
Roberts moved out of Hobart-bound Mikaela Ruef’s shadow in 2016 to leap from 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds to 21.5 points and 10 boards.
The power forward off a strong Adelaide WNBL year started her Torns’ campaign with 35 points to follow the season-high score with 31.
Mansfield improved from 13.8 to 15.7 points per game this year and raised her numbers in rebounds and assists.
Lauren Nicholson was the recipient of the Debbie Black Award for putting teammates first on the court in honour of the club’s inaugural captain.
Nicholson proved the most consistent player in her debut Torns year from WNBL club Sydney Uni Flames to average 16.5 points in the regular season and 32 points in last Friday’s Hobart final.
Rookie Jayde Brazendale was named the most improved after the 17-year-old added to three 2016 games.
Emma Haywood earned the coaches award for playing roles for coach Richard Dickel, while club general manager Corey Ackerly was recognised as Tornado of the Year for his voluntary work.
