A proven winner at all levels, Christenson helped Andover to a spotless 44-0 record during the 2020-2021 season, and the Huskies did far more than just win games. 

They absolutely dominated their competition. 

Andover outscored its opponents 269-15 over the course of the season, including 14 games where the Huskies tallied nine or more goals, with Christenson powering the offensive attack in key roles across all game situations. 

The Huskies captured the 15UA state championship last March, and Christenson was one of several Huskies to participate in this year's USA Hockey National Championships. She recorded seven points as her Green Giants, representing District 10, finished as national runners-up, falling to the Chicago Mission 2-1 in overtime.
