Sophomore defender helped lead five-match turnaround for Cajuns; berth in SBC Championships
NEW ORLEANS – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Soccer defender Gwen Mummert earned her first postseason awards of the 2019 season when she was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team, in voting by the league's head coaches and released by the league office on Tuesday.
Â
Mummert, a sophomore from Berlin, Germany, played center back on a Ragin' Cajuns defensive line that helped produce the lowest goals against average (1.20) in school history and a five-match turnaround in the win column under first-year coach Lance Key. Mummert became the first Ragin' Cajun to earn All-Sun Belt Conference honors since Yazmin Montoya in 2016 and was the first defender to be named first-team since Grace Howell-Harries in 2014.
Â
She scored four goals with one assist in 18 matches during the 2019 season, posting goals against Northern Illinois, Nicholls, Coastal Carolina and Troy. Mummert, who finished the regular-season as the third-leading scorer for the Ragin' Cajuns (9 points), added an assist against NIU.
Â
Mummert played 1,679 of a possible 1,722 minutes on the season, including 938 of 949 in Sun Belt play. She tied a single-season, school-record with three penalty kick goals (vs. Nicholls, CCU and Troy) on the season.
Â
Louisiana, the No. 7 seed, will open the Sun Belt Conference Championships on Wednesday when it plays Troy at 1 p.m.
