In four years of varsity hockey, Albrecht has scored 84 goals, 112 assists for 196 points. Albrecht has been a three-time all-state selection, a four-year Classic Suburban All-Conference selection, and a two-year member of the Minnesota State High School League All-Tournament team. Along with high school accolades, Albrecht participated in the USA Hockey Development camps for three years and competed at the 2000 USA Hockey Women's Festival.

"We're delighted to sign another great Minnesota player in Ashley Albrecht," Halldorson said. "She is one of the most talented defenders in the country, and I expect her to contribute right away within our program."
