Coming off a winning season, the women’s ice hockey team prepares for the 2007-2008 campaign with high expectations. The Crusaders return 17 letter- winners to a team that fi nished with a 15-10-2 record. “Overall last year we were much more consistent in our play,” said eighth year head coach Peter Van Buskirk. “Due to the added talent from the in-com- ing players we had much more depth which greatly helped us in creating a much steadier performance level throughout the season.” Despite a good season last year the Crusaders understand that this is a brand new year and there is work to be done to get to the top of the conference.

Sophomore Captain Lisa Wilson

Last seasons seniors left the program with 48 total wins. There will be opportunities for players to step up into the positions held by the graduating class. “We only lost two seniors, one of our starting goalies and one of our defensemen,” said Van Buskirk. “We will have two freshmen compete to play goal and we have added two very capable defensive players.” The team will look towards its seven seniors Parny Ormiston, Meghan Donovan, Allie DeAngelis, Sam Rush, Casey Harvell, Katie Falkowski and Sam Murphy to lead the team with the experience they have gained in their three years of playing. Van Bus- kirk believes that “we have an experienced group of seven seniors who will not only be strong players on the ice but are all quality individuals who are leaders off the ice as well.”

Junior Stephanie Couzin

2007-2008 HOLY CROSS WOMEN’S ICE HOCKEY 6 22007-08007-08 OUUTLOOKTLOOK

Along with the senior leadership, captains Lisa Wilson, Harvell and Rush will also help to lead their team as they have been chosen captains for this season. “Leadership is always important in a team setting,” said Van Buskirk. “We are blessed with three players who are strong leaders and an extended group of mature players who are leaders as well. Casey was an assistant captain last year, Sam is a talented senior forward and Lisa is a sophomore defenseman. All three are take charge individuals leading the Crusaders this year.” With a small class of juniors it will be up to them to step up to help lead the team as upperclass- men. “The junior class consists of only two players, Stephanie Couzin and Amy McGhee,” said Van Bus- kirk. “Stephanie was our leading scorer last year and is a member of our fi rst line. Amy got some added expe- rience last year and is always ready when needed.”

Senior Sam Murphy “Our sophomore class is a strong class and most of them played a lot of minutes last year,” said Van Buskirk. “Wilson is one of our captains and lead- ers on defense along with Katelyn Doherty. Emalee Blumhagen was limited by an injury last year and will give us added depth this year. Wendy Nobrega, Kath- ryn Kelley and Kathryn O’Connor played a number of games for us last year. Julia Matthews will give us added depth as a forward.” The experience gained last season by these sophomores will be added to the development of this year’s team and leadership. Incoming freshman will also be expected to contribute to the success of the season. “The freshmen will make an immediate impact as they did last year,” said Van Buskirk. “We have Emily Henry and Col- leen Krmpotich who will strengthen our defense with Christina D’Ambrogio, Louise Hillen and Jocelyn Kratchmer adding talent to our forward corps. Mo- nique Gallant and Lindsay Atkinson will compete to play goal with Alicia Lew as our third goalie.” Junior Amy McGhee

Going into the season the strengths of the team will be the experience of having a large group of up- perclassmen. “The strength of our team is the experi- enced play of our returning upper class players and the added talent of our new players,” said Van Buskirk. “We should be much more balanced as a team in the offensive and defensive play of the game and our depth should create a faster level of attack throughout the game than in previous years.”

Sophomore Jackie Flint

The Crusaders will once again compete in the ECAC Division III Women’s East Conference where they will face off against 11 other teams in the league. Van Buskirk believes this year’s conference will be strong. The grouping at the top of our league will be tighter this coming year than in the past, but with hard work he believes the Crusaders are projecting them- selves to be one of the top teams in their division. “Our schedule is very similar to last year,” said Van Buskirk. “We do have a more competitive beginning series of games but we are all on the same footing early in the season.” Van Buskirk is very excited about the season. “Overall we have a committed group of enthusiastic, talented players and I am looking forward to the sea- Sophomore Katelyn Doherty son.”

The Forwards Returning 10; Lost 0; Newcomers 3

The Crusaders have the advantage of 10 returning and experienced forwards to lead the offense this year with an addition of three incoming freshmen that will increase the depth of the team. “I’m ex- pecting our forwards to be very aggressive and disciplined in our system of play,” said Van Buskirk. “The characteristics of their play are speed, ability to work the corners in the offensive zone, ability to fi nish and make plays and offensive minded and tenacious on the fore-check.” Returning impact players include Couzin, O’Connor, Kelly, Jackie Flint, Matthews, Rush, Mc- Ghee, Harvell, Falkowski and Murphy. The incoming freshmen include Kratchmer and D’Ambrogio. “I expect our fi rst line of Rush, Kratchmer and Couzin to be a very diffi cult group to defend,” said Van Buskirk. “We are fortunate this year to have some depth of ability amongst our forwards so I am expect- ing us to maintain good consistent pressure on our opponents throughout the game.”

The Defensemen Returning 7; Lost 1; Newcomers 2

This season the Crusaders will have six returning players on defense with two incoming freshmen to strengthen the team’s core. Returning to Holy Cross on defense is Ormiston, Donovan, DeAngelis, Wilson, Nobrega, Doherty and Blumhagen. Incoming freshmen include Krmpotich and Henry. “Our de- fensive units are balanced and have a good combination of talent and experience,” said Van Buskirk. “We have back three seniors in Ormiston, DeAngelis and Donovan plus returning veterans in Wilson, Doherty and Blumhagen. Our two fi rst year defenders will play a major role this year. Henry will direct our fi rst group and Krmpotich will play with our second unit.”

The Goaltenders Returning 0; Lost 1; Newcomers 3

With the departure of their top goalies, the goaltender job is open for the taking. Freshmen Atkin- son, Lew and Gallant will all be battling it out for the position. “We will be young in the goal this year with three fi rst year goalies,” said Van Buskirk. “They will need to focus on keeping the game as simple as possible by concentrating on the basics, playing good angles and controlling rebounds. They have been working hard and I expect they will mature practice by practice and game by game.”

An exclusively undergraduate institution with just under 2,800 stu- dents, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Mass., the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contem- porary architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging and excit- ing. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student to faculty ratio of 11 to one, the op- portunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19 students. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings and exhibitions. Almost all of the nearly 300 full- and part-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universities here and abroad.

Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on cam- pus, has total holdings of more than 650,000 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan Campus Center (with bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria and pub); Carol and Park B. Smith Hall (housing the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Rehm Library); the Multimedia Resource Center in Edith Stein Hall; and the science complex in Haberlin, O’Neil and Swords Halls. Coeducational since 1972, Holy Cross enrolls a student body of proven accomplishment. Almost all graduated in the top 20 per- cent of their high school classes. Most live in 10 residence halls on campus, all fully connected to the college’s computer network. Students, elected by their peers, represent their classmates at fac- ulty meetings, on major college committees, and in a consultative

Recreation Center, home to the basketball, swimming, hockey and volleyball teams. The Smith Wellness Center includes a special- ized strength and conditioning facility for varsity student-athletes, as well as aerobic equipment and workout areas for the general student body. The college offers focused preprofessional advising programs for students interested in medicine and health, law, business and engineering. The results for successful postgraduate study are well-documented: • Graduates are admitted to medical school at rates better than twice the national average. • Each year, more than 100 Holy Cross graduates enter law schools accredited by the American Bar Association – one of the highest rates in the nation. • Holy Cross is in the top three percent of four-year colleges in the number of students going on to earn doctorates. • Holy Cross students have won Rhodes, Truman and Marshall scholarships, Watson fellowships, Fulbright grants and many other awards. • More than 10 percent of Holy Cross alumni are currently practic- ing medicine.

Among the many Holy Cross alumni with stellar records of achievement are a Nobel Laureate; three Pulitzer Prize winners; two members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame; a U.S. Supreme Court justice; a U.S. Poet Laureate; numerous members of the U.S. Congress; hundreds of journalists, authors and media commentators; and countless CEOs, educators and business and community leaders. capacity on the appointment and promotion of faculty.

Opened in 1997, the Carol and Park B. Smith Wellness Center is a two-story facility which was built as an addition to the Hart Recreation Center. The wellness center provides state-of-the-art fi tness equipment for varsity athletes and all other members of the Holy Cross community. A $1.5-million gift from Carol and Park B. Smith (Class of 1954) kicked off the campaign to fund the facility. “Everyone to- day agrees that fi tness is very important,” Smith said in 1997. “I’m confi dent that this new Wellness Center — whose facilities will be second-to-none — will provide a real benefi t to current and future Holy Cross students, teachers and staff.” With 15,000 square feet, the wellness center provides over four times more space than the college previously had for varsity and com- munity exercise and training, and centralizes athletic equipment and facilities once found in fi ve locations in three campus buildings. The center houses, on the fi rst level, a highly versatile strength and conditioning center for Holy Cross’ varsity student-athletes. There are areas for speed development programs, as well as for strength and endurance conditioning. The space, which is able to accommodate as many as 60 people at a time, enables Holy Cross’ larger sports teams The center also offers programs that explore the connections to work out together, thereby enhancing team unity. between fi tness and wellness, to help students learn how good health The second fl oor has been designed for use by all students, can complement and enhance other aspects of their educational faculty and staff.

The wellness center has been a huge boon to our program.” With 6,500 square feet of the center devoted solely to varsity athletes, Oliver and his staff to are able to accommodate a much larger number of athletes at one time, allowing teams to train together at times more convenient to their busy schedules as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art equipment in the wellness center in- cludes: • Eight multi-purpose power racks, each with over 600 pounds of free weights. • Seven Olympic lifting platforms with over 375 pounds of rubber- ized free weights. • More than 3,000 pounds of dumbbells. • Eighteen pieces of aerobic equipment. • Three full sets of plyometric boxes. • A number of free weight-loaded pieces of equipment to accom- modate injured athletes. “Thanks to the generous donation from the Smiths,” Oliver said, “This facility is state of the art.”

Worcester, the economic and social center of central Massa- chusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a population of 176,000. Holy Cross is one of the area’s 13 colleges and universities, which together make an enormous impact on the area’s culture and economy. Boston, Springfi eld, Hartford and Providence are all about a one-hour drive. New York City is about three hours away; Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean are less then two hours from Worcester; and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire can be reached in about three hours. Skiing is available at nearby Wachusett Mountain, and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area, including Lake Quinsigamond. First incorporated as a township in 1722, this settlement 40 miles west of Boston soon became an important transportation center on the Boston Turnpike, linking the capital city with New York and the west. One of America’s fi rst internal commercial waterways, the Blackstone Canal, linked the town with Providence to the south and gave direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. Primarily an industrial city through the mid-20th century, Worcester has emerged as an educational, medical, health care, cultural and entertainment center. An expanded business and com- mercial base, and the recent addition of a variety of high-technology

companies and growing biotechnology research parks, have made Worcester attractive to expanding companies. Downtown Worcester stands on the brink of a dramatic renaissance with a new hotel at- tached to the convention center, a new courthouse and major housing and retail projects all in the works. Worcester is nonetheless predominantly residential in character. More than 1,200 acres of city-owned parkland are found within its 38 square miles. Half of the entire city budget goes for educational purposes, testimony to the values of its inhabitants. Its parklands are among the oldest in the nation, as are its library and music festival. Worcester is a city proud of its past and secure in its future. Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a 13,000-seat arena that features big-name rock bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned venue for opera, jazz, blues and classical concerts; and the Worces- ter Art Museum, internationally known as one of the fi nest small museums in the United States. Other museums include the Higgins Armory Museum, a repository of Medieval arms and armor; the Ecotarium, which combines the features of a science museum, a planetarium and a zoo; the headquarters of the American Antiquarian Society; and the Worcester Historical Museum. After a $40 million restoration project, the historic Union Sta- tion now serves visitors and commuters via MBTA regional service and Amtrak national service. Worcester has world-class dining, ethnic restaurants, diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks and recreation — all within easy reach of campus.
