She played for Borseth (retiring) and took Plitzuweit's place at South Dakota when she left for WVU (now already at Minnesota). She's young (maybe 34) and already on 2nd HC job.

South Dakota now looking again which sucks. Decent program. Karius was making $255K (easier to know what state school folks make).

Braker is now in that Plitzuweit family. If Minnesota can have a good two-year run and she is considered a key contributor, then she will be in position to get a HC role in the Midwest. Plitzuweit and Borseth know all the smaller schools in the Midwest well and she can leverage those connections, in addition to her MM connections.

P.S. I assume Braker like most aspires to get her HC shot. Mabrey still a couple years younger than Braker. They both have to be encouraged by D'Amico Graves and Duffy. The MM tree is growing. I assume she takes an interest in the coaching careers of her former players - beyond those at ND.
