ITHACA, N.Y. - Annelies Bergmann has been named ECAC Hockey Goaltender of The Year, becoming the second net-minder (Lindsay Browning, 2019-20) in program history to be honored with the award. Bergmann was named an ECAC Hockey First-Team selection.

"Annelies has been outstanding all year for us.  She gives our entire team confidence.  She is a fierce competitor who is constantly working on her game.", Doug Derraugh, the Everett Family Head Coach of Women's Ice Hockey shared.

Bergmann has displayed dominance and consistency in net this season, putting herself in the conversation for National Goaltender of The Year and Patty Kazmaier Award consideration. She has played in 29 games this year, making 616 saves on a .939 save percentage. It is rare that a skater sneaks one past the ECAC Hockey Goalie of The Year, as she boasts a 1.39 goals-against average.

Her top game of the season came early on when she put her foot down against the no. 12-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions and made 37 saves to lead Cornell to a 2-0 victory at the Ice Breaker Tournament. Her eight shutouts on the year puts her tied for first in the nation, and third all-time in the Cornell record-book. She has been a key element to bolstering Cornell's third-ranked scoring defense.
