The freshman was named to the first team All-Mid-American Conference and held the top MAC time in the 100-yard butterfly for much of the season.
Emily Moe (Rockford, Mich.) was selected for the Spirit Award along with Erika Nilsson (Haninge, Sweden) and Liisa Raty (Espoo, Finland) who were the recipients of the captains awards.
Nilsson and Raty were also named team captains for the upcoming 2003-04 season.
