Oregon freshman midfielder Jana Drummond started off the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament on a positive note when she won Newcomer of the Year Wednesday at a banquet for teams and coaches.
The freshman leads Oregon with 37 points, and the Ducks have gone 10-2 since she began starting.
Last week, Drummond scored seven goals in one game against Cal, a 13-12 Oregon loss, that set a program record and is the highest mark this season in the MPSF. She won MPSF player of the week awards for that.
Also, Ilsa van den Berg, Cara Mead, Anna Poponyak and Alicia Burkhart were named to all-MPSF teams. It is the third time for such an honor for van den Berg and Burkhart and is the first for Mead and Poponyak, both fifth-year seniors.
