Ema Vernoux. Logtens, a two-time All-American Third Team honoree, is coming off another outstanding season where she posted 209 saves, a .482 save percentage, and a conference-best 9.10 goals-average against. She also earned All-Big West First Team recognition and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Big West Championship.
Vernoux made an immediate impact in her first season, and was named to the All-American honorable mention list.
