The love for Wisco and Minny continues. Colgate, OSU and Cornell ignored. Some players on those teams are deserving of being in the top 10 and a shame they are not being recognized for their contributions but it is really all about statistics, that’s clear.

You're of the opinion that the goalie with the best stats in the country doesn't belong on the list? That the #1 team in the country should not be represented?

Honestly, any goalie who plays for Wisconsin has a relatively easy job most nights. Were there a draft, would she be one of the top 5 goalies picked? I don’t know. Stats rule and I get that. But I feel for players like Jincy Dunne and Lauren Wildfang who are likely two of the best D in the country who get little or no recognition. What about Sauve and Boissonneault and what they mean to their team’s success. Happy for all of the nominees but do not have to agree with them. Such is life.

If you are going to make the "look at the team in front of her" argument, then Emma Polusny should probably be the goalie who belongs on the list.

They are not a winning team so that doesn’t hold much water as good as she is (see 2016-2017 Buckeyes). I know you have your opinion as a Wisco supporter and I respect that. I have mine and it is what it is.

That confuses me: doesn't the fact that "they are not a winning team" *improve* her status, if one is making the "look at the team in front of her" argument?

It does for me but not for the coaches who vote for the nominees.
