Hagen Claims Three Statistics Titles

With Stanford claiming the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship, the 2011 season officially came to an end. With that, the NCAA released the final stat report of the season and Sarah Hagen claimed three NCAA Statistical Championships.

Hagen finished first in goals per game, points per game and game-winning goals:
- Points Per Game: Hagen 2.90 (61 in 21 games), 2nd place: 2.76
- Goals Per Game: Hagen 1.238 (26 in 21), 2nd place: 1.192
- Game-Winning Goals: Hagen 11 (of UWM's 19 wins), 2nd place: 9

To put Hagen's goals per game in perspective, of the 330 NCAA Division I teams, she had more goals per game than 136 teams, while equaling another. Her 26 goals were as many as 11 teams and more than 157 teams.

Hagen owns one of Milwaukee's two other all-time statistical titles. She led the nation in goals per game (1.143) as a sophomore in 2009. That same season, Kate Megna led the nation in assists (16, 0.80 per game). Hagen has ranked in the top five of a category 12 times in her career, including being second in the nation four times and third twice.
