Former Muskie Annalise (C.C.) Hayes has gotten off to a great start with the University of Wisconsin-Superior Yellowjackets women’s hockey team.
Hayes scored a goal and added an assist as the Yellowjackets downed Concordia Wisconsin 3-1 in the season-opener for both teams back on Nov. 1 and she has added two markers and two helpers in the five games since then.
Hayes was also named the Wisconsin National Guard Yellowjacket Women’s Athlete-of-the-Week as she had two goals and two assists during the first week of the season.
Hayes is in her second season at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, helping the Yellowjackets to a 4-1-1 record so far.
Last season, she skated in 26-of-27 games with the Yellowjackets as a freshman, tallying seven goals and an assist to go along with a plus-1 rating.
