Wiesner, a two-time All-Pac- 10 selection, played in just 13 games after being sidelined for the first month of the season due to a strained hamstring. Despite the injury, Wiesner scored two goals and added four assists. Forrest made an impressive debut in the frontline, aiding the Husky attack with three goals and one assist.
