PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College women's ice hockey student-athlete Brooke Becker (Orchard Park, N.Y.) was announced as the school's nominee for the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year Award on July, 15. Becker recently completed her fifth season with the Friars and was drafted 46th overall by the Minnesota Frost in the 2025 PWHL Draft.
Becker graduated Summa Cum Laude from Providence College in May 2024 with a degree in management and a minor in finance. This past May, Becker received her Master of Business Administration. She will be a five honoree to the Hockey East All-Academic Team and a Distinguished Scholar for earning a 3.0 in each semester of her five varsity seasons. Becker was also recognized to the Chi Alpha Sigma National Student Athlete Honor Society.
Becker heavily participated in community service through Team IMPACT, Girls on the Run Rhode Island, Adopt a Family, Read Across America, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Rhode Island Sting youth coach. During her graduate student year, Becker was nominated to the All State NACDA Good Works Team, one of 193 student athletes across the country to be nominated for a winter sport and recognized for excelling in academics, athletics and community impact.
Becker's athletic accolades were equally as impressive. She played in all 35 games during the 2024-25 season, finishing third all-time in program history with 163 games played. She recorded 18 points on five goals and 13 assists, earned Hockey East Second-Team All-Star and New England Hockey Writers All-Star honors and led the Friars with three power-play goals. She was also named Army ROTC Defender of the Week. In 2023-24, she was named to the All-Hockey East Third Team and earned Hockey East Player of the Week. In 2022-23, Becker appeared in all 37 games and was recognized as the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week during the season. During her 2020-21 rookie campaign, she led all Providence defensemen in scoring with 14 points, earned a spot on the Hockey East Pro Ambitions All-Rookie Team and was honored as both Rookie of the Week and Rookie of the Month.
Rooted in Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year Award was established in 1991 to recognize graduating female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.
Member schools are encouraged to honor their top graduating female college athletes each year by submitting their names for consideration for the Woman of the Year Award. Schools can recognize two nominees if at least one is a woman of color or international student-athlete.
Conference offices select up to two nominees each from their pool of member school nominees. All nominees who compete in a sport not sponsored by their school's primary conference, as well as associate conference nominees and independent nominees, will be considered by a selection committee. Then, the Woman of the Year selection committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, choose the Top 30 honorees — 10 from each division.
From the Top 30, the Woman of the Year selection committee will determine the top three honorees in each division and announce nine finalists. The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics then will choose the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year, who will be named this fall.
