Badger forwards honored by league
MADISON, Wis. – Following a sweep over conference opponent Minnesota State, Wisconsin women's hockey senior Casey O'Brien and freshman Cassie Hall received WCHA weekly awards, the league announced Monday.
O'Brien was named the WCHA Forward of the Week for the second week in a row, while Hall won WCHA Rookie of the Week for the third time this season.
A native of Milton, Massachusetts, O'Brien picked up her fourth WCHA weekly honors after a league-leading five-point weekend. The forward posted an assist in Wisconsin's 3-2 win over Minnesota State on Friday before tallying a goal and three helpers in UW's 7-2 triumph on Saturday. Thanks to her first assist on Saturday, the center became the 15th skater in program history to reach 150 career points.
Hall earned her second WCHA weekly award of the month following a two-goal weekend. The South Lyon, Michigan, native extended her goal-scoring streak to six games after tallying her 15th and 16th goals of the season during the sweep of the Mavericks. The freshman leads all WCHA rookies in goals and is tied for the lead for points with 21.
The second-ranked Badgers continue their road trip with a series against No. 7 Minnesota Duluth on Friday and Saturday at AMSOIL Arena. Puck drop for both games is set for 3 p.m. and fans can listen to the games on The U 100.9 FM.
