Minnesota's Kessel getting better and better

Amanda Kessel grew up playing against boys, and always held her own. As she got older, however, and the boys became bigger and stronger, she adapted, using her speed, vision and stick-handling skills to become a marvelous passer. Now, for the University of Minnesota, she's taken her game to another level. After starring as a freshman, she's been even better as a sophomore, helping the Gophers to a No. 2 ranking while compiling the second-most assists in the nation this season. Her profile for USA Hockey's Kaz Watch series, leading up to the Patty Kazmaeir Award, given each year to the best player in women's college hockey. http://www.usahockey.com/patty_kazmaier/default.aspx?NAV=AF_10&id=315583
