No defender in the University of Wisconsin's history has scored more points in a single season than Caroline Harvey. Harvey claimed the mark notching her 50th and 51st points of the season in a 6-1 win over Bemidji State on Friday.

Harvey opened the scoring six minutes into the game as Claire Enright drove into the zone and passed it to Harvey who took a shot that was saved before retrieving her own rebound to beat an outstretched Kaitlin Groess in Bemidji's net.

Harvey hit the mark, recording 51 points in only 33 games.

“My teammate had said something to me about the milestone, but I’m just glad we got the win, we just had a week off," said Harvey. "We’re going to keep pushing forward and we’re focused on the playoffs and what matters.”

The previous record of 49 points in a season was shared by former American national team blueliner Kerry Weiland who has five World Championship and Olympic medals to her name, and former Canadian national team member Meaghan Mikkelson, who has 11 World Championship and Olympic medals, was twice named a World Championship All-Star, and was named the Best Defender at the World Championships in 2011.

The mark is an accomplishment for Harvey considering the long line of standout defenders who've come through the Wisconsin program. It's a group that includes current PWHL defenders Mellissa Channell-Watkins, Anna Wilgren, and Natalie Buchbinder, as well as North American national team members like Carla MacLeod, Molly Engstrom, and Bobbi Jo Slusar.

Harvey is also the runaway scoring leader among defenders nationally this season. She's followed distantly by fellow USA national team member Haley Winn who has 42 points in 32 games for Clarkson, and Canadian national team member Nicole Gosling, who has 34 points in 34 games also for Clarkson.
