Wendt helped lead the Beavers to a perfect 2-0-0 weekend when she recorded her first career hat trick at University of Sioux Falls this past weekend. The Arden Hills, Minn., native totaled three goals and six points over the weekend, all of which came against the Cougars. Wendt played 104 minutes over the weekend and posted six shots on goal.
 
Wendt leads the Beavers and is tied for second in the conference with seven goals this season and is second with 16 points.
 
Joining Wendt was Minot State University's Rebecca Storr as the defensive player of the week and University of Minnesota Duluth's Jennifer Norris as the goalkeeper of the week.
 
Wendt and the rest of the Beavers have just three games remaining on its 2022 regular season and will travel to University of Mary Friday, Oct. 21 to face the Marauders before returning home to host Minot State Sunday for its final home game of the regular season.
 
The Beavers currently sit second in the NSIC standings and trail top seeded Minnesota State University, Mankato by one point.
