HAMDEN, Conn. — It’s coming up on the second anniversary of the day that rocked Kristen Campbell’s world.

It’s a little more than a year since she had a night to forget that instead turned into a motivator.

So when she skated off the People’s United Center ice on Sunday as a national champion with the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team and as the NCAA Frozen Four’s most outstanding player, Campbell could have been forgiven for checking to make sure it was all real.

“It’s honestly super surreal right now,” she said.

It also was something never seen before in Division I women’s hockey.

A year after finishing the season by allowing a double-overtime goal to Colgate in the Frozen Four semifinals, Campbell stopped the last 69 shots she faced this season, covering more than three games and 210:36 of game time.

The last 27 saves and 60 minutes came in the Badgers’ 2-0 victory over Minnesota in the title game on Sunday.

Campbell became the first goaltender to go the distance in a Division I NCAA women’s hockey tournament without allowing a goal.
