Bloomington, Minn. - The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) has named freshman goaltender Saskia Maurer to the All-WCHA Rookie Team, the organization announced on Thursday.

She amassed 332 saves in 569 minutes guarding the net, while allowing just over three goals per contest. Her 91.7 save percentage ranks eighth in the entire WCHA among goaltenders.
