The senior captain capped off her fourth straight Western Division championship with a game-winning goal and four steals in the 4-3 championship final victory against Indiana. In all, Hausmann scored three times, handed out four assists, and recorded eight steals in three games in the tournament.
Hausmann opened the weekend with three helpers, two steals and a field block in a 16-1 win over Washington & Jefferson (April 22). Her three assists in the game moved her into sole possession of third place on U-M's career list (88).
She followed that by tallying three points on a goal and two assists while also recording two steals and a drawn ejection in a 19-6 win over Mercyhurst (April 22). Her performance helped Michigan to the tournament final game.
Against Indiana in the championship final, Hausmann scored the game-winner two minutes into the third period on a four-meter penalty shot. She also finished tied for the team lead in steals with four. Hausmann completes her career with four Western Division Championship rings, never having lost a game at the division championship tournament.
The senior will go for her second career Eastern Championship this weekend. The Wolverines take on host Brown in the first round Saturday (April 29) at noon at the Smith Swim Center in Providence, R.I.
