Emma Mogen, senior guard for the Minot State Women’s Basketball Team, was named as the university’s top female student athlete of the year for 2024-25.
Mogen was also Minot State’s nominee for the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Willis R. Kelly Award. According to the NSIC website, “The nominees must meet the following criteria: a grade point average of 3.5 or better (on a 4.0 scale); evidence of academic excellence beyond the minimum grade point average (scholarship prizes and other academic recognition), evidence of participation in the life of the institution, and evidence of participation in at least two-thirds of the varsity events of the individual’s primary sport.”
Mogen started all of Minot State’s 30 games this year, and led them in all five primary statistical categories: 371 points, 160 rebounds, 69 assists, 37 steals and 20 blocks. Earlier this year, Emma was named to the NSIC All-Academic Team of Excellence and a member of the Women’s Basketball All-Conference Second Team. Mogen graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in May.
