Pirtle, who is heading into her 17th season at UC, directed the Bearcats to a school record-tying 27-5 season, winning the Conference USA tournament and earning a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tourney. She was named Ohio College Coach of the Year by the Columbus Dispatch.
Logan concluded his UC career as the second-leading scorer in the school's history with 1,985 points.
