The Western Collegiate Hockey Association's last Defensive Player of the Week honor of the season wasn't ever much of a contest.

University of Minnesota Duluth sophomore goaltender Maddie Rooney earned her fourth WCHA weekly honor Tuesday, just two days after the Andover, Minn. native backstopped the No. 3 Bulldogs with a WCHA Final Face-Off tournament record 112 saves in two games.  The first player ever to be named the Most Outstanding Player from the non-winning team, Rooney helped the Bulldogs secure a 2-1 double-overtime win against the University of Minnesota Saturday in the semifinal game, posting a UMD record 62 shots in the contest.  Rooney then turned in a 50 save performance 19 hours later in a 4-1 loss to the top-ranked University of Wisconsin in the final.  Overall, Rooney made 112 saves on 117 shots, posted a .957 saves percentage and played a whopping 151:29 minutes.  Rooney, who became UMD's sixth-ever WCHA Most Outstanding Player, was also named to the All-Tournament team, along with Lara Stalder and Sidney Morin.

The Bulldogs will host the Gophers this Saturday at AMSOIL Arena in the NCAA Quarterfinals.  Game-time is set for 2:37 p.m.  For ticket information, click here.
