March 27, 2008-Lady Hornet Michelle Stueve hit the triple crown by being named a Daktronics All-American. She was named to the second-team by a vote of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). She is the only player to be named a State Farm All-American by the WBCA, a Daktronics All-American and an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American by CoSIDA this year.

The Olpe, Kan. native was ranked in the top ten nationally in scoring, three-point field goals percentage and made three-pointers. She was a unanimous selection for MVP of the MIAA. She led the league in three-point field goal percentage and was in the top four in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, free throw percentage and made three-pointers. Her 674 points scored this season are tied with Jurgita Kausaite for the fourth most in ESU history and sixth most in a single season in MIAA history

Stueve ended her career as the leading scorer in MIAA and ESU history with 2,403 points. She is the ESU career record holder in scoring, made three pointers, free throws made and free throw percentage. She ranks second all time in Lady Hornet career rebounding and field goals made, is tenth in blocked shots and 11th in steals.

She is the only Lady Hornet to finish her career with 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, ending with 1,040 boards in 127 games. She is one of only three players in MIAA history to pull off the feat and the first since Central Missouri’s Tammy Wilson in 1989.

In her career, the Lady Hornets went 100-27 with three trips to the Sweet 16, an Elite Eight appearance and an MIAA regular season championship. She was named the MIAA Player of the Week 13 times in her career, including five awards this season. This is the third straight year she has been named All-American by CoSIDA, earning second-team honors in 2005-06 and third-team honors last season.

An excellent student off the court, Stueve was a second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American this year and has been on the MIAA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll every year she has been eligible.
