MILWAUKEE — Senior two-sport athlete Jordan Werner and Women’s Soccer goalkeeper Emma Lumpe were named MSOE’s 2013 Senior Male and Female Athletes of the Year, while Hockey’s Nathan Brunk and fellow two-sport star Kate Herrmann were named the school’s Senior Scholar Athletes of the Year at the MSOE President’s Student Leadership Awards Dinner last week.
Werner (Sr./Lombard, Ill./EE) excelled for both the Men’s Soccer and Men’s Track programs at MSOE. In soccer, Werner scored a school-record 23 goals in 2012, also registering nine assists to finish with 55 points after forgoing his junior year in 2011 to study abroad. The goal mark was the second-highest in the nation and the most of any player this fall in the Northern Athletic Conference, earning him the 2012 NAC Offensive Player of the Year award. MSOE Men’s Soccer finished the 2012 season with a record of 14-5-1 with Werner also proving to be influential in the development of fellow forward Logan Andryk (Fr./Hartford, Wis./Biomedical Engineering), who became the first-ever MSOE men’s soccer player to be selected to the NSCAA/Continental Tire Division III All-America First Team. Andryk scored 14 goals and complemented Werner in the Raiders’ powerful attack under head coach and former US Men’s National Team player Jimmy Banks.
On the track, Werner won the 100-meter and 200-meter dash titles at the NAC Outdoor Championships this past weekend and also led the 4×400 relay team to victory, earning him Athlete of the Meet honors. The individual-event victories marked the third time Werner has won the NAC title in those events.
Lumpe (Sr./Lawrence, Kan./AE) was named 2012 NAC All-Conference First Team after being among the top goalkeepers in NCAA Division III women’s soccer in minutes played for much of the season. In 12 conference matches, she allowed just 1.12 goals per game. Her four-save shutout in the Raiders’ conference tournament win over Marian completed a four-match shutout streak that included the final three matches of the regular season. In all, Lumpe had eight shutouts in 2012 and 20 in her Raider career, placing her among the best keepers in MSOE history.
Brunk (Sr./Lake Mills, Wis./Business & MIS) excelled both on the ice and in the classroom at MSOE, consistently making the Dean’s List with High Honors while making life difficult for opposing attackers at the Kern Center Ice Arena. The defenseman finished his hockey career with seven goals and 34 assists from the back for the Raiders, helping MSOE and head coach Mark Ostapina to win the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association’s Harris Cup Championship in 2012 and reach the Harris Cup Final again as part of an 18-11-2 season in 2013. Brunk was named to the MCHA’s All-Academic Team three times in his career. His academic focus has been on accounting and finance and he served as an intern for NetSolutions Group in Milwaukee during the summer of 2012.
Herrmann (Sr./Sycamore, Ill./BE), like Werner, also competed for MSOE soccer in the fall and ran track in the spring. After the 2012 soccer season, Hermann became the became the 11th athlete in MSOE history to earn CapitolOne/CoSIDA All-American honors, following up a junior year where she was named to the all-district team. Her 10 assists led the Raiders in 2012 and equalled her with two other players for third-most in the conference. The 2012 team, coached by Rolf Zersen, finished 11-9-1 after winning a school-record 13 games in Herrmann and Lumpe’s junior year. Herrmann also ran track for coach Larry Gardner, finishing third in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the NAC Outdoor Championships.
“We produce outstanding athletes here at MSOE,” said MSOE Director of Athletics Dan Harris. “This is another great class to come out of this growing athletic program.
“We tell our student athletes when they come here, ‘This is not easy.’ To excel here is difficult as there is no compromising the level of academic excellence that has to go along with the commitment required to be a student-athlete. But these individuals, as all our athletes do, prove that our athletes are committed, dedicated individuals who will succeed at life just as well as they did in collegiate sports.”
