SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — College of Charleston guard Andrew Goudelock and coach Bobby Cremins have swept the Southern Conference postseason awards.

Goudelock was named the league's player of the year, and Cremins was selected coach of the year in media voting announced on Thursday. Both had taken similar honors in voting by Southern Conference coaches this week.
