Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s Quinn Green and UW-Stevens Point’s Fletcher Anderson have been chosen the WIAC co-players of the year to lead the individuals selected to the 2023 all-WIAC team by the league coaches.
This marks the first time in the 10-year history of the player of the year award that it has been shared. Green is the third Blugold to receive the distinction, joining Tyler Green in 2016 and Patrick Moore in 2017. He is second in the conference with 14 goals, third with 26 points, ninth with 74 shots and 10th with a plus-minus of plus-11. Green added three game-winning goals.
Anderson’s selection marks the seventh time a Pointer has claimed the honor. He leads the league with 28 points and a plus-minus of plus-26, while ranking second with 14 goals and 89 shots, and fourth with 14 assists. Anderson has registered four power-play goals.
In addition, UW-Superior’s Colton Friesen received newcomer of the year honors, Rich McKenna collected coach of the year recognition, and Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Jordan Fader has been named the recipient of the Max Sparger scholar-athlete award.
An all-sportsmanship team was chosen for individuals that displayed exemplary sportsmanship throughout the season. It included one member from each school.
