Superstar Trinidad & Tobago shooter Sam Wallace was awarded the 2021 MVP for the NSW Swifts on Tuesday night.
It is the third time the attacker has won the Award since joining the Swifts in 2017 and equals club centurion Cath Cox's record of three MVP wins.
Wallace previously took out the Award in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
The MVP is the highest accolade awarded at the Swifts and is given to the player who has received the most votes from a specialist panel during the regular season.
This honour has been awarded since 2008 when the club rebranded from the Sydney Swifts to NSW Swifts.
Wallace can place the MVP award next to her Championship medallion, with the star shooter in imperious form in her team's Grand Final victory last weekend.
Wallace scored 51 goals on 90 percent shooting efficiency, playing a key role in her team's win over the GIANTS to claim their seventh Premiership, and second in three years.
NSW Swifts Executive General Manager Nikki Horton said Wallace's growth and consistency since she joined the club was remarkable.
"Sam came to us as a talented but raw attacker back in 2017, however she has blossomed into one of the finest, if not best, shooters in the world," Horton said.
"What is most impressive about Sam is her inner strength and drive to succeed, and the way she makes her job look easy, which it isn't.
"She has overcome the heartache of losing her Dad (in 2019) and Aunt (this season) to deliver for the team time and time again. Now she is a double Premiership champion, and she could win even more.
"Sam also plays the game beautifully with a skill and flair that is almost unrivalled. When people see Sam Wallace play netball they want to tune in more and more.
"On behalf of everyone at the Swifts and Netball NSW I would like to congratulate Sam on this hugely deserved recognition."
