Hutchinson CC Sports Information
Hutchinson Community College women's soccer sophomore forward Hadlie Lowe was named NJCAA 2nd-Team All-American on Tuesday.
The back-to-back Jayhawk West Most Valuable Player becomes the 14th player in team history to earn All-America honors and the first since Esther Karhayu was named to the second team in 2020/21.
Lowe, a sophomore from Wichita (Kapaun-Mt. Carmel High School), was the top scoring option for the Blue Dragons and posted career highs 20 goals, seven assists and 47 points. She had six game-winning goals this season. Her goal, assist and point totals all exceeded her stellar freshman year numbers.
Lowe ranked fourth in the NJCAA in game-winning goals, eighth in goals scored and ninth in points scored.
Lowe had the first of her three hat tricks this season in the opener against Western Nebraska on August 26. She then scored a career single-game high four goals against Dodge City on Oct. 8 and followed that with three goals against Cowley in a 3-1 victory.
After the four-goal game against Dodge City, Lowe was named the NJCAA Division I National Player of the Week. Lowe also earned two KJCCC Player of the Week honors in 2022.
Lowe had the game-winner in a 4-3 victory over Johnson County in the Region VI opening-round win over Johnson County.
Lowe is the 13th Blue Dragon to register a 20-goal season, the first since Jordan Downing and Jazmin Hartshorn both did so in 2016.
Lowe's 38 career goals tie Jenny Yukich (2006-07) and Danielle Sheehy (2012) for sixth-most in program history. Her 85 career points tie her with Pearl Slattery (2010-12) for 10th place. Lowe's 14 career game-winning goals ties a school record with Melissa Hetherington.
As a freshman, Lowe led the nation with eight-game winning goals.
Lowe is just the second Blue Dragon ever to earn Offensive Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons, joining Alicia Robinson (2010, 2011). This is the eighth time a Blue Dragon player has been named Offensive player of the Year.
