Kira Lazenby is the first Bearcat women's soccer player to be enshrined in the M Club Hall of Fame. In 2009, Lazenby was named the MIAA Goalkeeper of the Year and tallied first-team all-league status. She gained second-team all-MIAA honors in 2008. She began her college career at Iowa Western Community College. At Iowa Western, Lazenby was a two-time NJCAA All-America performer. Lazenby redshirted one season at UTEP before transferring to Northwest. Lazenby was a terrific goalkeeper in her two seasons as a Bearcat. She recorded eight shutouts in both 2008 and 2009, which at the time set the single-season and career shutout marks for the Bearcats. Lazenby's 20 wins ranks as the third-most in program history. She possessed a career save percentage of 83.8%, which ranks third in school history. She was named the MIAA Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 13, 2009, after leading Northwest to shutout wins over Washburn and Truman State. She scored her only career goal with just under three minutes remaining in her final collegiate game at Southwest Baptist on Nov. 7, 2009.
