Olivia Knowles, Taylor Wente, and Alex Woken have been named All-American Scholars for 2019-20.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Three members of the Golden Gopher women's hockey team are among the individuals honored by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) as "Krampade All-American Scholars," the organization announced Tuesday. Olivia Knowles, Taylor Wente, and Alex Woken have been recognized for their exceptional results in the classroom during the 2019-20 season.
"These are exceptional individuals," said AHCA executive director Joe Bertagna. "The sport demands a great deal from these athletes so it is a great statement they make, individually and collectively, with their ability to attain this level of academic achievement while contributing at the NCAA Division I level."
Due to the effects of Covid-19 on actual grades in the spring, the AHCA adopted revised criteria for this year's honorees. To qualify, a student-athlete must have attained a 3.75 GPA for the fall semester and participated in 40% of their school's games.
The AHCA has honored 571 NCAA Division I men's and women's hockey student-athletes with the announcement of the fourth annual Krampade All-American Scholars. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association Women's League landed 56 student-athletes on the list while 253 women's hockey players were honored nationally.
