MADISON, Wis. — Minnesota State goaltender Alli Altmann, a sophomore from Eagan, Minn., earned this week's Western Collegiate Hockey Association Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts in last Friday's first-ever win over the defending national champion Wisconsin Badgers.

Minnesota State defeated Wisconsin Friday, 5-3, despite being outshot 51-18, and suffered a loss in Sunday's contest. The victory bettered the Mavericks’ all-time record against the Badgers to 1-42-2.

Altmann finished with a single-game career-high 48 saves and faced a career-high 51 shots. She had 13 saves in the first frame and 17 in both the second and third periods. One of the goals Altmann allowed came on the power play.

Altmann currently owns a 6-15-4 record, 670 saves, a .898 save percentage and a 3.11 goals-against average.
