Hemmingsen’s standout performance came against Benedictine University on Saturday iin Springfield, Ill. The Park Pirates won the game 6-0.

“It’s a great honor for Dana to earn the AMC’s first player of the week award,” head coach Ken Hefner said. “She’s now in her third year as a key part of our offense, and I only expect her to improve as she continues in our program.”

During her senior year at SM East in 2009, Hemmingsen was selected First-Team All-Sunflower League, First-Team Northeast Kansas Region and First-Team All-State in Kansas Class 6A. She has a twin sister, Nichole, who is also on Park’s soccer roster.
