The ANNIKA Award is collegiate women's golf's highest honor.

She recorded a stroke average of 70.78, which was a career-best and ranks as the second-best single-season stroke average in program history. All 18 of her rounds counted towards the team score and 12 rounds came at par or better, including five rounds in the 60s. Papp totaled four top-10 individual finishes, including three top-five showings. She finished the season ranked No. 5 nationally in the Golfweek individual rankings.
