MINNEAPOLIS - The Edina girls hockey team made some history in an 8-0 win over Wayzata at Plymouth Ice Arena.
Senior goaltender Uma Corniea became the all-time winningest netminder in Minnesota State High School League history. She notched her 96th career win, the most in the state’s history.
Edina High School goalie sets what is believed to be the state record for wins
An Edina senior has likely set a new all-time record for wins by a girls goalie in Minnesota high school hockey history. Edina goalie Uma Corniea first tied the record Saturday then broke it on Tuesday. The new record now stands at 96 and is likely to keep growing. But it's a record she didn't even realize she was approaching.
Corniea posted her seventh shutout of the season, and improved to 13-4-1 in 18 starts. She entered the night with a 1.05 goals against average, and a .953 save percentage
Cornia now has a 96-17-2 career record as a goaltender, which goes back to her middle school days at Breck. She helped lead the Mustangs to two Class A state championships, and has been in net with the Hornets for two more state championships.
She’ll likely end her high school career as the best goalie in the history of the state.
