In addition, she had nine three-point games and 14 multiple-point games. In December, she played with the U.S. Women's Select Team at the Three Nations Cup.

The following season (1999–2000), she missed eleven games due to a fractured vertebra. Despite the time lost, her 50 points ranked second in the NCAA among defenders. On January 11, 2000, Brodt tied a Gophers record with five assists in one game as the Gophers bested Bemidji State by an 11–1 score. In a two-game series sweep of Dartmouth (February 11 and 12, 2000), she was part of eight of Minnesota's nine goals, with a goal and seven assists.
