MSU's Rogan honored by WCHA

Kathleen Rogan

Minnesota State women's forward Kathleen Rogan was named WCHA rookie of the week after netting a hat trick in last Friday's upset win over No. 6 North Dakota. Rogan leads the Mavericks with four goals and two assists in six games. Her hat trick was the first by an MSU player since Ashley Young scored three goals against Bemidji State in 2008.

Rogan is a Vancouver, B.C., native who played at Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Faribault.

Coach Eric Means' team is 2-3-1 (1-3-0 in WCHA) and will face a tough early-season test when it travels to No. 1-ranked Wisconsin for a Friday-Saturday series. The last time the Mavericks were in Madison, they scored their first and only victory over the Badgers, snapping a 44-game winless streak.
