Ilsa van den Berg and Alicia Burkhart were named all-MPSF for the third time. Cara Mead and Anna Poponyak were first-time honorees.

Drummond, a midfielder from Nashua, N.H., holds Oregon's single-game school record for goals with seven, also a 2009 MPSF-high for a conference game, and leads the team with 40 points after Thursday's win. She shared the MPSF newcomer award with Denver goalkeeper Ashley Harman.
