Kaitlyn Hulst

Erin Stevens
Erin comes to Mayville State from Lakeview High School in Minnesota.  Erin received the Laker Award from her high school (which goes to the player that shows excellence in athletics, academics and sportsmanship).  Erin was all chosen Honorable Mention All-Conference this past year.  Why Erin chose Mayville State:  "I chose Mayville State for a number of reasons.  I will be a third generation Comet, so following in the footsteps of my grandparents and parents played heavily into my decision.  I liked the atmosphere and small town mentality.  I have been able to attend Mayville State basketball games (one of those being their appearance in the National Tournament) it was obvious to me that the community and fans care not only about their athletes on the court, but also off the court.  From the moment I got to Mayville State I have felt right at home and have been greeted by a friendly smile everywhere I go."
