Baker served as an assistant coach of the Union College women's hockey team before that, joining the staff of the Dutchwomen in 2016.
Scott becomes a full-time assistant at Minnesota after four years as the team's Director of Hockey Operations and serving last season as Interim Assistant Coach. Before joining the Gophers, she coached the Wayzata High School girls' hockey team for three seasons, earning honors as Class AA head coach of the year in 2018 and back-to-back Section 6AA coach of the year in 2018 & 2019.
