Dale credited her teammates for her success.
In Dale’s freshman year! the Dutchmen shuffled their lines a lot!
but this year Dale stayed more in a line with the same center who ketchikan boys top grace to was also her roommate and close friend! Tiffany Anderson.
“So it was really nice!” Dale said. “I feel like it wasn’t just my award! it was kind of shared between us because she had such a big part to play…I was just so happy about it because! yeah! I wanted to be marketing list successful but I also feel like coming from Alaska it is almost even cooler because we just don’t have as much resources and availability as people! especially on the East Coast! with hockey have. It is nice to know that for both boys and girls from back home it is possible in Juneau! you just have to work hard for it.”
