MINNEAPOLIS - University of Minnesota women's hockey head coach Laura Halldorson announced that defender Ashley Albrecht (South St. Paul, Minn./South St. Paul HS) has signed a National Letter of Intent. Albrecht will join the Golden Gopher women's hockey program for the 2002-03 campaign.

Albrecht, a member of the South St. Paul High School girls' team, has led the Packers to three first-place conference finishes and state tournament appearances in 1998, 1999, and 2001. In four years of varsity hockey, Albrecht has scored 84 goals, 112 assists for 196 points. Albrecht has been a three-time all-state selection, a four-year Classic Suburban All-Conference selection, and a two-year member of the Minnesota State High School League All-Tournament team. Along with high school accolades, Albrecht participated in the USA Hockey Development camps for three years and competed at the 2000 USA Hockey Women's Festival.

"We're delighted to sign another great Minnesota player in Ashley Albrecht," Halldorson said. "She is one of the most talented defenders in the country, and I expect her to contribute right away within our program."
