Probable cause

The student pilot exceeded the airplane's critical angle of attack, resulting in an aerodynamic stall and ground impact.

NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane bounced. She added power to go around, pitched the yoke of the airplane back too aggressively, and the airplane stalled. The airplane impacted the runway, and continued into the snow covered grass. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and stabilator. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
