McCabe, who left the Badgers after the season ended to join the Buffalo Sabres, led the way by being named first team All-American. McCabe led Badger defensemen with eight goals and 25 points in 36 games played during the 2013-14 campaign. That total was good for second among Big Ten defenseman in all games.
Mersch is a second-team All-American, finishing his second season with a Big Ten-leading 22 goals in all games. He also finished with 35 points in 37 games played, which ranked third on the team.
