MINNEAPOLIS -- Ten Golden Gopher women's hockey players are among the 89 student-athletes honored as 2022-23 WCHA Scholar-Athlete award recipients; the conference announced Wednesday.
Gracie Ostertag was named a WCHA Scholar-Athlete for the fourth time while Olivia King, Emily Oden, Catie Skaja and Madeline Wethington earned their third honor. Maggie Nicholson, Audrey Wethington and Grace Zumwinkle each became two-time winners, while Peyton Hemp and Skylar Vetter earned their first scholar-athlete honors.
The WCHA Scholar-Athlete Award was developed through member institutional Faculty Athletics Representatives and approved by the WCHA membership for the 2005-06 season. To earn recognition as a WCHA Scholar-Athlete, league-member student-athletes must have completed at least one year of residency at their present institution prior to the current academic year and must also have a grade point average of at least a 3.50 on a 4.0 scale for their previous two semesters or three quarters. Student-athletes may also qualify if their overall GPA is at least a 3.50 for all terms at their present institution.
Over the 17 years of the award, there have now been more than 1,400 WCHA Scholar-Athlete honorees representing every WCHA member institution. 54 of this year's 89 recipients are repeat honorees, with 10 of those earning recognition for the fourth time.
