Jan 14, 2021 | Soccer
MANHATTAN, Kansas – Two-time All-Big 12 selection and K-State's all-time leading scorer Brookelynn Entz became the first National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) draft selection in program history, as she was selected in the fourth round with the 38th overall pick by Kansas City NWSL.
Entz is the second Wildcat this winter to have an opportunity to play professional soccer, joining Silke Bonnen who signed with HB Koge in the Elitedivisionen of Danish football.
The product of Newton, Kansas, owns or is tied for 28 career, single-season or single match school records including career goals scored (15), career assists (7), total career points (37) and goals in a single-season (5, twice).
Â
During the 2020 season, Entz was named to the All-Big 12 First Team by tying her school record for goals in a season and set a new school record for goals in Big 12 action with five. Entz tied for second in the Big 12 and ranked 13th in the nation for goals scored. She ranked second in the league and 12th in the nation for goals per game (0.63).
She ranked third in the Big 12 and 34th in the nation in points and third in the league and 20th in the nation for points per game (10; 1.25).
She tied her school record for goals in a match with two, which included her fourth career game-winning goal, at Iowa State on October 30. She recorded at least one goal in two of K-State's three wins in the 2020 season.
Entz has also been outstanding in the classroom, as she is a three-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection and was named the 2020 Big 12 Soccer co-Scholar Athlete of the Year.
K-State capped its Big 12-only schedule with a record of 3-6-0. This marked the most wins in league play since the program started as a member of the Big 12 in 2017.
The Wildcats, winners of three of their final five matches, also clinched a seventh-place finish in the league standings which marked its highest finish in the league standings since joining the Big 12 as a soccer member in 2017.
