The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team placed nine players on the All-WCHA teams last week. The list of accolades grew a little longer on Wednesday when sophomores Kirsten Simms and Caroline Harvey were named 2023-24 WCHA Forward of the Year and Defender of the Year, respectively.
Simms, a native of Plymouth, Michigan, leads the NCAA with 67 points. Her 29 goals, 38 assists, and eight game-winning goals all rank second nationally. The second-year phenom has been sensational this season, registering a point in 29 of her 34 games and tallying 21 multi-point games thus far.
