"The late Dr. Charnofsky was a dedicated faculty member who truly valued the student-athlete experience," said CCAA Commissioner Mitch Cox. This award, given in his name at each CCAA institution, acknowledges the accomplishments both on and off the field that these student-athletes have achieved."

A native of Merced, Moore previously was the winner of the CCAA Women's Basketball Championship Scholar Award for the 2019-20 season. The kinesiology major was also the Pioneers women's basketball Team Scholar Athlete Award winner as well as a CCAA Winter All-Academic selection.

Woinarowicz, a native of Yorba Linda, is also majoring in kinesiology. He joined Moore and 48 other Pioneers as recipients of the 2019-20 Division II Athletics Directors Association Academic Achievement Awards (D2 ADA), and was a 2020 Spring Athletic Director Honor Roll selection with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
