MINNEAPOLIS – Fifth-year forward Taylor Heise and sophomore goaltender Skylar Vetter have been named WCHA weekly award winners on Monday afternoon after dominant performances in a series sweep over No. 14 St. Cloud State.
Taylor Heise earned her third WCHA honor of the season and the sixth WCHA Forward of the Week award of her career. The captain tallied a career-high nine points (3g-6a) over the weekend. Heise kicked off the final series of 2022 with a career-high four assists on Friday and topped it with her third-career hat trick and two assists on Saturday. The big performance moved her into 10th place in program history in career points (194). The Lake City, Minn., native also posted a plus-seven rating over the two games.
Skylar Vetter earned her fifth WCHA Goaltender of the Week award this season after stopping all 29 shots this weekend for a pair of shutouts over No. 14 St. Cloud State. Vetter's back-to-back shutouts extended her shutout streak this month to 226:09. The Lakeville, Minn., native closed out the first half of the season with a 12-3-2 record, a 1.91 GAA and a .923 Sv%.
