BUFFALO, NY β University at Buffalo softball standout Nicole Allen and men's tennis standout Clement Mainguy were honored by The State University of New York by being named the SUNY Student-Athlete of the Year for the spring season.
Allen became just the fourth Bull in program history to earn NFCA First-Team All-Northeast Region honors while also earning First-Team All-MAC honors. She set the single season program record with 80 hits, a record that has stood since the 2015 season. Her 80 hits ranked 13th in the nation and second in the Mid-American Conference at the conclusion of the regular season. The Penfield, NY native racked up a .421 batting average which is top five in program history in a single season and was fourth in the league and 73rd nationally. The outfielder led the league with 28 multi-hit performances on the season, tallied 93 total bases, drove in 38 runs and scored 50 runs of her own while recording a .489 slugging percentage and .932 OPS. Defensively, the right fielder had 88 putouts and a .989 fielding percentage.
Allen is a Business Administration major with a 3.576 grade point average.
Mainguy came up clutch in countless moments across his two seasons in Buffalo, recording back-to-back seasons with double-digit singles and doubles win totals. He earned postseason honors for the second straight season, earning All-MAC Second Team honors after being named the Most Outstanding Player at the MAC Tournament Championship, winning both of his matches, including the clinching point in the semifinals against Ball State, and is now a perfect 4-0 in the MAC Tournament in his career. He was also a force in doubles play, recording 14 wins and earning a league-best four MAC Doubles Team of the Week awards with Theodoros Mitsakos.
Mainguy earned a master's degree in business analytics in May.
