The award, which is presented three times a year, is bestowed to a student-athlete from each of the league’s member institutions for academic and charitable excellence. Berthiaume was also Florida Atlantic’s Female Community Service Award winner, as announced at this year’s Owlspys. She completed over 275 hours of community service at eight different services throughout the course of her time at FAU.

In the classroom, Berthiaume posted a career GPA of 3.48 while majoring in health science.

On the diamond, Berthiaume hit to a .321 batting average in 36 games in the 2023 season. She recorded three home runs, 19 RBI and 20 runs scored, while posting a slugging percentage of .481.

Berthiaume finishes her career sixth all-time in FAU history in slugging percentage (.511), eighth all-time in batting average (.329) and third in triples (14). She was a First Team All-C-USA honoree in the 2022 season.
