MINNEAPOLIS - Freshman goaltender Serena D'Angelo caught up with GopherSports.com following the 2016-17 season. D'Angelo discussed her supporting role as a back-up goaltender, her academic interests, and her goals for the remainder of her college career.
Gopher Sports: How did you embrace your role on the team?
Serena D'Angelo: Not playing a lot, it's just important to make sure you're there for the team. Cheering and stuff, and making sure everyone is in the right frame of mind. Congratulating people and encouraging everyone, I think that's the most important thing for me when I'm not playing.
GS: How do you balance hockey and school?
SD: When I have a bit of free time, not using that to watch Netflix or relax, but know that I have to get stuff done and do it.
GS: What did it feel like to get some minutes in net this season?
SD: It was really fun playing with everyone and playing on such a good team for the first time. It was just a blast knowing they all had my back, so it was just fun when I got to go out there.
GS: What are your career goals?
SD: I want to be a lawyer because both my parents were lawyers and that's what I was born to do. I'm good at it.
GS: What was your favorite part of the season?
SD: My favorite part of the season was getting to go to the Frozen Four. Even though we didn't win, it was still fun being with all of my friends on the team.
GS: What do you like to do in your free time?
SD: Hang out with people on the team and relax with them.
GS: What are your summer plans?
SD: I'm staying on campus, working out and training, taking some classes, too.
GS: What are your goals for the remainder of your college career?
SD: I just want to keep getting better, work hard at practice every day and get more minutes in as seasons go by.
