Blair Named to National Women's Goalie of the Year Watch List

DURHAM, N.H. – Sophomore goaltender Sedona Blair (Eden Prairie, Minn.) of the University of New Hampshire women's hockey team has been named to the Watch List for the title of 2025 National Women's Goalie of the Year. The award is presented by the Women's Hockey Commissioners Association.

The award was created in 2021 to recognize the top female goalie in NCAA Division I hockey. The goalies to watch come from all five NCAA Division I conferences – nine from Hockey East – with 17 from the United States, nine from Canada and seven from Europe.

Blair, who broke UNH's single-season saves record a year ago, has a 9-10-0 record with a 2.23 GAA, .925 save percentage and four shutouts in 19 games (all starts). She has been named the Stop it Goaltending Goaltender of the Week by Hockey East three times this season.

Blair's season highlights include a shutout streak of 163 minutes, 31 seconds that included back-to-back shutouts of Holy Cross and Vermont. She has made 30+ saves in a game six times this season with a high of 37 in consecutive games at Mercyhurst in late November.

UNH returns to action Jan. 18 (1 p.m.) for an Alumni Day matchup against 14^th-ranked Boston University at the Whittemore Center at Key Auto Group Complex. There will be a UNH Special Collections and Archives exhibit as part of UNH's 100 Years of Hockey celebration and a postgame autograph session with the current 'Cats.

This initial "Watch List" of outstanding goalies is comprised of those with a GAA of 2.10 or lower or a save percentage of .920 or higher. A committee of voters — made up of a cross section of coaches, administrators, and media — will pare this list down within the next two weeks and then ultimately choose the winner who will be announced in March during the NCAA Frozen Four.
