The Appleton, Wisconsin native has tied the program record for goals in a period with three, becoming the first #Badgers player to do so in 14 years.
Before today, the senior had scored just one collegiate goal during her rookie year in Bemidji.
Congrats Hassan!!

Chancellor Mnookin and Dean Emerit Linda Scott smiling and making the Wisconsin ‘W’ against a red W crest background.
I am heartbroken by Dean Linda Scott’s sudden passing. Her integrity, leadership, commitment to excellence & wonderful dry humor shaped the School of Nursing & the national nursing community & touched so many lives. Her legacy will endure & she will be dearly missed. nursing.wisc.edu/remembering-...
