November 05, 2010 | Field Hockey
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - Junior midfielders Devanny Kuhn (Louisville, Ky./Sacred Heart Academy) and Gretchen Lulow (Ballwin, Mo./Cor Jesu Academy) earned First-Team and Second Team Mid-American Conference Postseason honors, as announced at the field hockey championship awards banquet Thursday evening.
Kuhn, a communication studies major, stands as a First-Team All-MAC selection for the first time in her career after earning second-team honors last season. The award caps a spectacular junior season for Kuhn, as she also tallied MAC Offensive Player of Week honors on two occasions. On Sept. 8, she collected the honor for the second time in her career after combining for four goals and two assists on the weekend against Robert Morris and St. Louis. Kuhn earned the honor a second time this season on Oct. 13 after her performance against Central Michigan and UC Davis.
This season, Kuhn collected 33 points, including five game-winning goals and a defensive save. With 15 goals, she has doubled her total of goals scored during both the 2008-09 seasons (7). Also, with her team-leading 15 goals so far this season, Kuhn leads all active BSU scorers with 22 career goals and her 52 career points stand as the most among active BSU players. She also stands two goals shy of breaking Chantelle Isaac's record of 23 goals (2003-05) and 15 goals short of breaking Lindsay Quay's career record of 37 goals (2003-06). Kuhn also ranks 17th in the nation in goals per game (0.88) and 25th in points per game with 1.94.
Ball State has now had at least one player earn Second-Team All-MAC honors for eight consecutive years as Lulow collected the honor for the Cardinals for the first time in her career. The exercise science major has started all 20 games this season and tallied 20 points from four goals and 12 assists. Lulow also collected nine defensive saves on the season for second place on the team. In the nation, she ranks fourth in defensive saves and 20th in assists per game (0.63).
