Wisconsin senior goaltender Jessie Vetter has won the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award as the nation’s top women’s Division I hockey player.
The announcement was made today in Boston at a reception. Vetter was one of three finalists, along with Meghan Agosta of Mercyhurst and Sarah Vaillancourt of Harvard.
Vetter becomes just the second Badger to win the award, joining forward Sara Bauer, who won it in 2006. On the season, she boasted a 1.29 goals against average and a .940 save percentage while collecting a record 13 shutouts.
