A two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time All-American, Johnston graduated as the most accomplished skater in the history of the women's hockey program. Johnston, who earned a team-high 30 goals and 61 points during her senior season, was named the squad's most valuable player after a season that saw her become a first-team All-American and earn a Top 10 Patty Kazmaier nomination for the third time. She graduated as the fifth-leading scorer in team history with 188 points (97 goals, 91 assists). She was a four-time first-team all-ECAC Hockey and first-team All-Ivy pick. Johnston was both the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2008 and earned a spot on ECAC Hockey's all-tournament team as a senior. Despite taking a year off for the Olympics, Johnston helped the Big Red to a pair of ECAC Hockey and Ivy League regular season titles, an ECAC Hockey tournament crown and two NCAA Frozen Four appearances. She was team captain as a senior and an assistant captain as a junior.
