MSU goalies receive honors

Minnesota State men's hockey freshman Dryden McKay was named WCHA Goaltender of the Month for February.

McKay led all college-hockey goaltenders with 0.98 goals against average in February, allowing six goals on 133 shots. The Downers Grove, Ill., native went 4-1-1 and ranked third in the country for the month with a .954 save percentage. He was twice named the league's Goaltender of the Week in February.

Meanwhile, MSU women's freshman goalie Abigail Levy was named All-WCHA Second Team and All-Rookie this week, while teammate defenseman Anna Wilgren was also named to the All-Rookie Team.

Levy has started 32 of 33 games for the Mavericks, compiling a .932 save percentage and 2.34 goals-against average  with five shutouts. She's the first MSU player to be named to an all-conference team since third-team pick Danielle Butters in 2013-13.

Wilgren compiled 12 points, including four goals, in her first season of college hockey and led the league and was second in the country with 119 blocked shots. Levy and Wilgren are the first two MSU players to be named to the All-Rookie Team since Holly Snyder in 2006-07 season.
