MUNCIE —u200b It's official now.
Nathalie Fontaine is the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year after leading Ball State to a 21-8 record (13-5 MAC) as she averaged 21 points and 10.2 rebounds per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor.
The Stockholm, Sweden native's play was consistent even against teams like Florida (16 points, 8 rebounds), Purdue (26 points, nine rebounds) and Butler (20 points, 13 rebounds). She's been doing it all season, and that's why head coach Brady Sallee saw Fontaine's Player of the Year honor coming even before it was made official Tuesday.
