AHCA Honors Seven Gophers as All-American Scholars in 2021-22
7/20/2022 2:18:00 PM | Women's Hockey
Seven Gophers are tied for second-most in program history.
MINNEAPOLIS — Seven members of the Golden Gopher women's hockey team are among the individuals honored by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) as All-American Scholars, the organization announced on Wednesday. Lauren Bench, Peyton Hemp, Maggie Nicholson, Emily Oden, Gracie Ostertag, Audrey Wethington and Madeline Wethington have been recognized for their success in the classroom during the 2021-22 academic year. Seven Gophers are tied for second-most in program history, which was most recently accomplished during the 2016-2017 season.
To qualify, a student-athlete must have attained a 3.75 GPA for each semester. In addition to their academic achievements, players had to appear in at least 40% of their team's games, with an exception for injured players and back-up goaltenders.
Of the 523 Division I honorees, the 56 WCHA honorees only trailed the 57 tabbed by the women of Hockey East across the nation's five women's hockey leagues. The seven Gopher honorees is a decrease from last season's 12 honorees as the coaches association adopted a revised criteria for 2020-21 to include a 3.6 minimum GPA without a required benchmark of competition.
