Witchger Leaving Gopher Women's Hockey Staff
Nov. 20, 2000
University of Minnesota women's assistant hockey coach Libby Witchger, a member of the Gopher women's hockey staff since 1997, is resigning her position, effective Nov. 27, and leaving the coaching profession to return to school. A search for her replacement will begin immediately.
Witchger, the first assistant coach hired by head coach Laura Halldorson,
was primarily responsible for coaching the teamıs goalies. In that role, she
was instrumental in developing senior Erica Killewald, who led the nation in
goals against average and save percentage in 1999 and was named the MVP of
the American Women's College Hockey Association National Championship last
season.
