This weekend is Wisconsin forward Annie Pankowski’s last shot to go out a winner in college hockey.
She is a three-time finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, which will be given out Saturday to the best female player in college hockey. She has never won.
On Friday, she will play in the Frozen Four with the Wisconsin Badgers for the fourth time. She has never won a national championship.
Top-seeded Wisconsin (33-4-2) faces the two-time defending champion Clarkson (30-7-2) on Friday in the semifinals at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., with Minnesota (31-5-1) and Cornell (24-5-6) vying to play the winner.
