Sean Kern

Kern missed the first eight games of the 2000 season while playing in the Sydney Olympics, but still led the Bruins to their second consecutive NCAA championship.

He scored 33 goals in 17 games, and two in the NCAA final and was named the tournament's MVP for the second year in a row.

Kern, a four-time All-American, was also chosen player of the year in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.

Kern joined other UCLA Bruins, Coralie Simmons (2001), Natalie Golda (2005) Kelly Rulon (2007), and Courtney Mathewson (2008), as the school's Peter J. Cutino Award winners, all coached by Adam Krikorian.
