Burnsville, Minn. --- Minnesota State senior Brandi Dohmen has earned NSIC Singles All-Conference Second Team honors, while freshman Sarah McCann received an Honorable Mention.

A native of Portage, Wis., Dohmen finished her season with a 10-13 singles record. In dual action, Dohmen finished the season with a 9-11 record in No. 1 singles matches, including a 7-5 NSIC record. She won four of her final six singles matches of the season, including her final three regular season singles matches to help the Mavericks claim fourth place in the NSIC standings.

“Brandi had a great year and earned the right to play in the tough No. 1 spot for singles and doubles all year,” head coach Christie Williams said. “She acted as team captain with fellow senior Hailey Robb. Brandi is a hard worker and leads by example.  We will really miss her leadership next year.“

A native of Owatonna Minn., McCann finished the season with a 13-8 singles record. In dual action, McCann finished with a 12-6 record, including a 10-2 record in conference play. She split time between the No. 2 singles matches and the No. 3 singles matches during the season, boasting a 2-0 record in No. 2 singles action and a 10-6 record in No. 3 singles play. She finished the regular season on a five match winning streak, with all of her wins coming in straight sets.

“Sarah came in as a freshman, worked hard, played flight 3 singles all year and ended with an impressive 10-2 record in conference singles play,” Williams said. “Sarah's game improved significantly over the course of her freshman year.  She is a gifted athlete and I expect her to continue to improve next year.  We will have a young team next year, and I feel Sarah will emerge as a strong team leader.”
 
The Mavericks finished the season with an 11-9 record and advanced to the second round of the NSIC Tournament.
