2016 Jostens Trophy Winner

Denfeld, a native of Edgar, Wis., helped lead the Milwaukee School of Engineering women's basketball team to an 18-8 record in 2015-16, a mark that included a 16-4 record in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC).  Denfeld proved the conference's leader in scoring, posting 19.7 points per game and a school-record field goal percentage of 58.4-percent on the way to earning NACC Player of the Year laurels.  She also pulled down 9.7 rebounds per contest and registered 12 double-doubles.

Production certainly was not a problem for the three-time All-NACC First Team choice and career 1,000-point scorer.  Denfeld notched a MSOE record 40 points to go with 17 rebounds in an overtime triumph at Edgewood on February 2.  She tied another school-standard in the 78-72 decision, going 12-for-12 from the foul line on the way to earning USBWA National Player of the Week, D3hoops.com National Team of the Week, and HEROSports.com HERO of the Week accolades.

In the classroom, Denfeld maintains a 4.00 cumulative grade point average as an architectural engineering and construction management major.  She is a two-time Academic All-American, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), adding a first team choice this season to a second team honor in 2014-15.

In addition to balancing her academic and athletic successes, Denfeld has found time to be active in the community. She has logged numerous hours with Habitat for Humanity, Milwaukee Empty Bowls, Kayla's Crew, Sam's Hope, as well as with the Milwaukee Heart Walk and Walk for Diabetes. She's also been a student leader with the MSOE Student-Athlete Advisory Council and on campus.
