When Sophia Villanueva committed to the University of Minnesota Duluth in March of 2025, many Bulldog fans likely didn’t bat an eye at recruiting a goaltender who is listed as being from Appleton, Wisconsin, considering that a large portion of the roster is typically made up of skaters from the MN/WI area. In fact, there were seven Minnesotans on the UMD squad in 2024-25 (eight if you count Nina Steigauf who appeared in two games at the start of the season) and two Wisconsinites.
