Following Historic Season, Women's Hockey Team Announces Awards
May 12, 2020 | Women's Ice Hockey
Following a season that saw a program-record 26 wins, a first ECACÂ tournament title, and an NCAA tournament berth for the second consecutive year, the Princeton women's hockey program has announced its annual team awards:
Elizabeth English Trophy | Carly Bullock '20
Awarded annually to the member of the women's ice hockey team voted by her teammates to be the most valuable player. In honor of Elizabeth English '75, whose efforts helped to establish women's ice hockey at Princeton.
Bullock put together a 30-goal season, one of only two in the nation in 2019-20, becoming the fifth Tiger in program history to reach that number and the first since 2004. In bettering her previous season-best goal total by six and assist total by two, she turned in 11 more points this past season than in any other year, lifting her to fifth in program history with 95 goals and sixth with 159 points. She was one of three finalists for the ECAC's Best Forward award and earned first-team All-Ivy and first-team All-ECAC recognition.
Patty Kazmaier Award | Claire Thompson '20
Given annually to the senior member of the women's ice hockey team who has made the greatest contribution to the program during her career and best exemplified the following characteristics: Loyalty and devotion to Princeton Women's Ice Hockey and determination and perseverance under adverse conditions.
Thompson finished one of the top defenseman careers in program history, earning second-team All-Ivy and third-team All-ECAC recognition. Her 23 points were her second-most in a season at Princeton, and they lifted her to a career total of 87, good for fifth-most among blueliners in program history.
Unsung Hero Award | MacKenzie Ebel '20
Awarded annually to the member of the women's ice hockey team voted by her teammates to be the team's unsung hero.
Ebel suffered a season-ending injury just six games in, but in spite of that, she maintained her presence around the team through her recovery process for what became a memorable season.
Rookie of the Year | Kate Monihan '23
Awarded annually to the member of the women's ice hockey team voted by her teammates to be the team's top rookie.
Blueliner Monihan had a goal and five assists in her rookie season, getting that goal in the ECAC semifinal win over No. 7 Clarkson. Her assists came over four regular-season games against ECAC opponents, as well as one of the two games in Las Vegas against No. 5 Ohio State.
