Wisconsin Wild Alumnae Newsletter Weeks of January 5 and 12, 2009 Marie-Michelle Poirier named WCHA Rookie of the Week (adapted from a UND website article) University of North Dakota freshman forward and Wisconsin Wild alumna Marie-Michelle Poirier was named the WCHA Rookie Player of the Week on January 7th for her performances at the Easton Showcase in St. Cloud, Minn., against Rensselaer and Wayne State. A sophomore in her first year of eligibility at UND, Marie scored both regulation goals in the Fighting Sioux's 3-2 overtime victory over Rensselaer last Friday. Marie scored her two goals on three shots, answering both Rensselaer goals and forcing overtime. Her goal at 13:26 of the first period was shorthanded and tied the game at 1-1 while her sixth goal of the season came in the third period with just 2:35 left in regulation and knotted the score at 2-2. The Sioux then went on to win 3-2 in overtime just 29 seconds into the extra session.
