This year the Patty Kazmaier Finalists are reining winner forward Alex Carpenter of Boston College, Wisconsin’s goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens, and Northeastern’s star forward Kendall Coyne.
Alex Carpenter
Carpenter won this award last year after having a very similar campaign to her efforts this year. No player has won the award in concurrent seasons, but Jennifer Botterill did win it twice. She currently has 85 points, for an average of 2.18 per game, good for second in the country. She is second in both goals and assists.
The best thing going for her is also her biggest detraction.
