Midseason NSIC Awards

So, 3 teams have 3 players on your list, while 3 teams have 0. Seems weird. Ryan Miller might have been good to include.

It actually ended up being similar to last year. In 2021-22, the teams in 1st, 2nd, and 5th in the conf had 3 guys on All-Conf, with 3 teams having 0 guys. In my predictions, it ended up where the teams in 1st, 2nd, and tied-4th got 3 guys.

Miller is definitely deserving of one of those last spots, I wouldn't be surprised to see him there over Katona, Moore, or Broadway.

I'll take a last-minute crack at the women's side, too...

North POY: B. Olson - Duluth
South POY: A. Duffy - Augie
Defensive: J. Batt - Mankato
Freshman: E. Miller - Concordia
Coach: M. Pearson - Duluth

I feel very confident in both POYs & freshman picks. For Coach, I wouldn't be surprised by them giving it to Thiesse (Mankato).

And for All-Conference...

1st Team
B. Olson - Duluth
A. Duffy - Augie
J. Batt - Mankato
K. Theis - St Cloud
E. Miller - Crookston
B. Stoltzman - SMSU
P. Boom - MSUM
K. Oliverson - Northern
L. Haack - Upper Iowa
N. Bremer - Mankato
L. Sees - Augie
M. Zander - UMary

2nd Team
L. Zacharaias - Wayne
K. Head - Minot
M. McKeever - MSUM
D. Bursch - Mankato
L. Rogers - Northern
A. Gietzel - Concordia SP
T. Yoder - Bemidji
M. Jewett - Augie
J. Eggebrecht - St Cloud
S. Wall - SMSU
B. Fox - Crookston
N. Jens - MSUM

I feel less certain about these All-Conf picks than on the men's side. Like, what the hell do you do with Duluth, where Olson's usage rate is just so high? I think Zacharaias or Head could definitely crack the 1st Team if the voters want to spread the 1st Team love across more teams. And for the last 2nd Team spots, R. Fillipi (Northern) & J. Aadland (Augie) could easily be picked over Fox or Jens.
