Kennedy Makes the Cut: BG Senior is One of 10 Finalists for Senior CLASS Award

Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Maureen Kennedy has been named a finalist for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award^®. Kennedy is one of 10 female finalists for this prestious honor.

The finalists, announced Friday (Oct. 11) afternoon, were chosen by a selection committee from the list of 30 men's candidates and 30 women's candidates announced on Sept. 23. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to vote on the Senior CLASS Award web site through Nov. 18. Fan votes will be combined with media and Division I head coaches' votes to determine the winner.

The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2019 NCAA Men's and Women's College Cup^® championships in December.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School^®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Each of the candidates has displayed a strong work ethic in the classroom and on the pitch. Outside of academics and athletics, all candidates also have been consistently involved in community service on their campus or in their communities.

Kennedy is third on the club in goals (four), and she is tied for second on the team in assists (four). Kennedy has played a team-high 1,149 of the 1,250 total minutes this season to date.
