After finishing her prep career with a major role in Minnetonka’s first state championship, senior goalie Julie Friend was selected as the Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year for girls’ hockey.

The senior led the Skippers to their first state tournament and posted a 23-0-1 record. With only 18 scores allowed in those 24 starts, Friend had a state-best 0.74 goals-against average. She had 12 shutouts, too.

The remainder of the AP’s all-state team included forwards Karley Sylvester of Warroad, Meghan Lorence of Mounds View and Rachael Bona of Coon Rapids; and Rachel Ramsey of Minnetonka and Milica McMillen of Breck on defense.
