Bischoff finished her career this season with 381 points. She led the state in goals with 58 and points with 86.
She eclipsed 30 goals in each of her past five seasons, scoring 40 or more three times and setting a career high with 58 this year. She finishes her career with 381 points, which ranks 12th all time in state history. Bischoff will continue her playing career at Minnesota State.
“Mercury is most well known for her elite edge work, deception, puck possession and hockey IQ, giving her the ability to always operate and play ahead of opponents,” said head coach Brad Hyduke. “She is also an underrated passer with great hands that will show itself well at the next levels of hockey. In the off-season, off ice and in practice, Mercury puts the work in and sets an example for how to prepare your mind and body to play at the highest level.”
