Lawrence student receives award from MSOE

MILWAUKEE, WI (05/13/2013)(readMedia)-- Congratulations to Emma Lumpe, of Lawrence. She was among more than 60 Milwaukee School of Engineering students who were nominated for leadership awards this year. She received the Senior Women's Athlete of the Year Award at MSOE's annual President's Student Leadership Awards Dinner on May 8. Lumpe is majoring in architectural engineering and is a standout soccer player at MSOE.

Lumpe 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.

Other awards given at the dinner include:
