Power Play Struggles
The Soaring Eagles had a tremendous number of power play opportunities against two of the top teams in the country, but were only able to capitalize once in their 16 attempts. Cassidy Delainey ’15 was able to punch home a power play goal on EC’s seventh opportunity of the afternoon against #9 Manhattanville, but the Purple and Gold were not so fortunate against #5 Norwich, failing to get anything in their nine power play attempts.
Title Defense
This is the third time in just 12 years of EC women’s ice hockey that the Purple and Gold will begin a season as the defending national champions. Despite losing some key pieces from last year’s team, the 2013-14 edition of EC women’s ice hockey has returned six of its top 10 scorers and is ready to bring another title back home. The Soaring Eagles successfully defended their first national championship, winning back-to-back titles in 2001-02 and 2002-03. EC became the first program to win NCAA Championships in each of their first two years of existence.

Utica also returns the second and third leading scorers from the 2012-13 season in Nicole Schwartz ’15 and Louise Steele-Norton ’15. Schwartz recorded 17 points while Steele-Norton, a standout field hockey player for the Pioneers, chipped in 16 points after joining the ice hockey team six games into the season.
One Last Go Around
The Pioneers return their primary starting goaltender from a season ago as Jennifer Hamel ’14 is back for her final year of collegiate competition. Hamel started 17 games in 2012-13, compiling an 8-6-1 record while holding a goal against average of 1.98. She recorded 344 saves and held a .915 save percentage on the year.
