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.

Other Nationally-Ranked Panthers...
Assists Per Game: Keara Thompson (14th, 0.55); Hagen (45th, 0.43)

Volleyball Numbers

As the Panthers get ready to find out their destination and opponent for the NCAA Tournament, it’s a good time to see how UWM is stacking up nationally.

First, in the latest NCAA RPI, Milwaukee is up to 50. Three of its four losses have come to teams in the top 40, with Northern Illinois (17), Western Michigan (35) and Marquette (39) all in that groups. UWM also has notable non-league wins against IPFW (75) and Wyoming (82).

In the latest NCAA statistics, the Panthers’ 25-4 record is tied for ninth in winning percentage with Purdue and Illinois. UWM also ranks 32nd nationally in kills, 40th in blocks and 46th in assists. Individually, Kayla Price is 40th in assists with Morgan Potter 66th in digs. Rachel Neuberger (58th) and Mackenzie Millis (80th) are in the top 100 nationally in blocks.

Finally, Milwaukee’s 18-match winning streak is the fourth-longest current streak in the country. Northern Iowa and Hawai’I have each won 21-straight matches, while Maryland-Eastern Shore has won 19-straight.

Milwaukee Women’s Soccer Is Ninth In This Week’s RPI

The Milwaukee women’s soccer team is ninth in the latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released by the NCAA Wednesday.

The Panthers have been nationally ranked for much of the season and improved their RPI standing one spot over the No. 10 rating they had in the first RPI released last week.

Milwaukee also features some nationally-ranked players, as the NCAA released updated statistical rankings earlier this week.

- Sarah Hagen has 15 goals and 34 points in 12 games this season. She leads the league and is No. 2 in both goals per game (1.25) and points per game (2.83). Her eight game-winning goals, already a school record, are two more than any other player in the country. Her 15 goals are tied for third nationally and her 34 points are fourth.

- Keara Thompson shares the league lead with eight assists. She is tied for sixth in the nation for total assists and is tied for seventh in assists per game (0.67).

- Jamie Forbes leads the league in goals against average (0.65), save percentage (.860) and shutouts (6). Her GAA is 29th and save percentage is 34th.

- As a team, Milwaukee’s winning percentage of .917 is sixth in the country, while the Panthers are also 24th in save percentage (.871), 27th in goals against average (0.65), 32nd in goals per game (2.33) and 39th in shutout percentage (0.5).

The Panthers are in action today, hosting Valparaiso at 7 p.m. at Engelmann Stadium.

Volleyball's National Numbers

Now that we are halfway through the volleyball season - at least in matches played - the NCAA's statistical rankings start to take on a little more merit. And, this week's update finds the Panthers well represented.

As a team, UWM ranks 31st nationally in digs per set and 32nd in kills per set. Milwaukee is also 49th in assists per set and 51st in winning percentage.

On the individual stat lists, freshman Kayla Price is 47th in the country in assists per set (10.75), which Rachel Neuberger is 56th in hitting percentage (.357). Plus, Kerri Schuh is 95th in kills per set, particularly notable because of the great balance the Panthers have had on offense all season long.

NCAA Stats Favor Hagen, Megna

According to the NCAA statistics released this afternoon, the Panthers have two of the nation's top offensive players in sophomore Sarah Hagen and senior Kate Megna.

Hagen, on the strength of a seven-game goal-scoring streak, is second in the nation with 16 goals and fifth with 1.067 goals per game. Her 36 points are tied for second, while her 2.40 points per game are tied for fifth.

On the other hand, Megna is tied for the national lead with 11 assists this season. Her average of 0.79 assists per game has her second. Megna tied the school record for career assists with her 26th career helper Oct. 2 at Butler. She has since made the mark all her own with five assists over her last two games.
