Bre Simon leads the country in scoring with 63 points this season for Hamline (photo: Hamline Athletics).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hamline junior forward Bre Simon is the recipient of the 2019 Laura Hurd Award.<\/p>\n

The award, voted on by the nation’s Division III head coaches, is presented to the best player at the women’s Division III level.<\/p>\n

Simon, a native of Elk River, Minn., leads the nation in scoring with 63 points on 26 goals and 37 assists in 28 games heading into Friday’s NCAA semifinal against St. Thomas.<\/p>\n

Through three seasons, Simon has 74 goals and 72 assists for 146 points. She averages better than 2.25 points per game.<\/p>\n

“Bre scored a point against every single team she faced this season,” said Pipers coach Natalie Darwitz in a statement. “She is the backbone of our team and it begins and ends with Bre. She is a coach’s dream. Not only does she put up points, but she does all of the little things you love to see as a coach, both on and off the ice.”<\/p>\n

From late November through early February, Simon helped Hamline to a 17-game undefeated stretch (14-0-3), in which she averaged 2.35 points per game.<\/p>\n

Simon is the first player from Hamline to win the Hurd Award.<\/p>\n

The runner-up for this year’s Hurd Award is St. Thomas senior goaltender Kenzie Torpy.<\/p>\n

The award is named in honor of former Elmira star Laura Hurd who died in a car accident shortly after graduation. Hurd was a four-time All-American who led Elmira to victory in the first NCAA Division III women’s championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
