KUTZTOWN, Pa. – Junior Emily Henn (Matamoras, Pa./Delaware Valley) of Kutztown softball earned a prestigious honor on Thursday as she was voted onto the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Spring Top 10.
 
The PSAC Top 10 was introduced during the 1997-98 academic year. The PSAC's sports information directors nominate and vote and the 10 best are awarded to male and female student-athletes that excel in both the classroom and athletic competition at the conclusion of the fall, winter and spring athletic seasons. To be a candidate for the Top 10 Awards, a student-athlete must have achieved a minimum of a 3.50 cumulative grade point average and must be a starter or key reserve with legitimate athletic credentials.
 
Thursday's announcement gives Kutztown a female Top-10 recipient for the first time since the Fall of 2023, when former field hockey player, Sarah Gatehouse was recognized. She is also the first softball student-athlete to earn the award since Tamara Jennings in spring of 2019. Henn is KU's 24th female Top-10 honoree since the awards were initiated during the 1997-98 academic year.
