Jessie Vetter recently was named the 2009 Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation in the team sport category. Here's a look at her accomplishments from the past year.

Things started off strong in fall 2008 with a first place finish in the Four Nations Tournament. Here, she uses her glove to stone a Canadian opponent during the championship-clinching shootout.

Vetter then moved on to begin competition in her final season at the University of Wisconsin, where she played all but one game in 2008-09 and owned a national-best .942 save percentage.

Vetter, seen here handing the NCAA national championship trophy to coach Mark Johnson, capped her college career with a national title. She became the first goaltender in history to start in four consecutive NCAA championship games.

For her efforts at Wisconsin, Vetter was named the 2009 recipient of the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, given annually to the top player in NCAA Division I women's ice hockey. She was also an All-America First Team selection in addition to other season honors.

Vetter left Wisconsin, but carried the success forward with Team USA, helping her country to its second consecutive IIHF World Women's Championship gold medal. She made 39 saves in the world championship-winning effort.
