(above) Taryn Hemmings scored DU's lone goal against Kansas Friday afternoon
“We are extremely proud of the entire team, not only for their effort in this game, but for the work they put in all season,” Sun Belt Co-Coach of the Year Jeff Hooker said. “We fought hard for 90 minutes tonight. It was unfortunate we were unable to score a goal in the first half, but the team played their hearts out.”Kansas jumped out to a 2-0 lead at halftime, including a backbreaking goal at the 44th minute of the 1st Half.
But the Pioneers never gave up and Taryn Hemmings scored a goal four minutes into the 2nd half. From that point on the Pioneers fought to level the score, but the Jayhawks proved too resilient.
Hemmings ends her career as the Denver’s second all-time career scoring leader. She led Denver with 17 goals and six assists for 40 points this season, moving her career total to 112 points (42 g, 28 a). The forward also tied Kathy Conklin’s (1989-92) record for career goals (42) with her tally against the Jayhawks and ranks third in career assists (28).
DU finishes the season 19-3-2 to complete one of DU's most successful soccer seasons ever.

Congratulations to Taryn and the rest of the team on an oustanding season. It's a shame they don't get to move on.
Win or lose, she's still a total fox!!

Maybe we can persuade Hemmings to be an honorary lifetime contributing member to LetsGoDU.
What a pair of legs!!
