Final 10 was announced:

Sr. Shelby Amsley-Benzie G North Dakota
Sr. Hannah Brandt F Minnesota
Jr. Dani Cameranesi F Minnesota
Sr. Alex Carpenter F Boston College
Sr. Kendall Coyne F Northeastern
Jr. Ann-Renée Desbiens G Wisconsin
So. Megan Keller D Boston College
Jr. Kelsey Koelzer D Princeton
So. Annie Pankowski F Wisconsin
Sr. Haley Skarupa F Boston College

Amsley-Benzie, eh? I'm sure she's a good kid but I cannot figure that one out.

Coyne and ARD. Coyne has one less point, one less game and many more goals but on a much less loaded team than Carpenter.

I'd give the advantage to ARD. There are always dominant forwards. ARD and the UW shut down artistry has been pretty outstanding.

Can I just say that ARD (and SAB!!) being in the Kaz 10 and Rossman not, with one fewer shutout than ARD has, is a traveshamockery, and if Rossman isn't worthy of consideration then ARD isn't worthy of winning it.

ARD's year was marginally better than Rossman's. There I said it.

For those unable to tell when I'm serious and when I'm joking, I will explicitly state here and now that that post was not tongue in cheek. I don't even have a dog in that fight and SAB getting into the 10 above Rossman is awful.

Chill. There are a number of things to consider here. First, it isn't like people are putting Amsley-Benzie's season next to Rossman's and saying, "Which is better?" It's 35 coaches voting from a long list of players. One is a four-year starter, and the other is starting for the first season, so one has more of a reputation and is a known quantity going into the season. It certainly doesn't hut SA-B that she made the top 10 last year. I don't know how much coaches look at academics at this stage, but I remember last year she was a 4.0 as a chem. eng. major. She had games that really grabbed attention, like shutting out UM and shutting out UW for an entire weekend. In all of her games against top teams, she played well, but sometimes her team just didn't score. Plus, nobody else from UND was going to get many votes. Rossman, OTOH, probably had some vote splitting going on with Cianfarano. The other thing is that Rossman's stats are similar to Laden's last year, so Q looks like a team where you can just plug in a goalie and go. There certainly are games where the biggest risk for a Bobcats goalie would be freezing to death.

I agree that Rossman, or someone from Q, should have made the list, but this doesn't rank as a travesty.

We'll have to agree to disagree I think. If they wanted to pick a great goalie from a non-tournament team there were better options.

when she beats BC in the semi final, I'll agree with you

In taking an honest look at the stats, I agree that Rossman should be on the list in place of SAB, even Burt should be ahead of SAB. SAB has had a down year overall though she seems to play up against UM and UW. It's all inconsequential whose on the list, ARD all the way.
 
Re: 2016 Patty Kaz Award

Rossman was borderline as I guess she probably was. There are ramifications for playing a weaker schedule. That's part of the reason Coyne, while having a tremendous season, probably shouldn't win it above ARD.
