Fillier Earns Career's Third Kazmaier Award Top-10 Finalist Selection
March 07, 2024 | Women's Ice Hockey
For the third time in four seasons with the Princeton women's hockey program, Sarah Fillier, who completed her Tiger career last weekend as one of the top players in program history, has earned advancement to the top 10 for consideration for the Patty Kazmaier Award by a vote of coaches across women's college hockey.
Fillier leads Division IÂ in goals per game at 1.03, the only player with a higher average than 0.89, and is one of just two players in Division I who has scored 30 goals this season, doing so in just 29 games. It was the 10th 30-goal season in program history and just the third since 2000.
Fillier is also top-six among all active Division I players in career goals (first, 93), career assists (sixth, 101), career points (second, 194), career goals per game (first, 0.78), career assists per game (fourth, 084), and career points per game (first, 1.62).
The Kazmaier Award is named for Princeton alumna Patty Kazmaier '86, who was a four-year letterwinner for the Tigers and helped lead Princeton to the Ivy League title in three consecutive seasons (1981-82 through 1983-84) while anchoring the team's defense.

Kazmaier earned honorable mention All-Ivy League honors as a freshman and was named second-team All-Ivy in both her sophomore and junior seasons. Following a leave of absence from Princeton in 1984-85, Kazmaier was named first-team All-Ivy and first-team All-ECAC as a senior in 1985-86. She was also honored as the Ivy League Most Valuable Player. Kazmaier graduated from Princeton in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in religion.
