The Holy Cross women’s hockey team returns fourteen play- ers from last season (16-8-3 overall, 13-4-2 ECAC) to a young but experienced team. Twelve of the returning fourteen athletes are a part of a junior/sophomore class that combined for over half of the total goals scored in the 2007-2008 season. “We want to perform as well as possible,” said head coach Peter Van Buskirk, “to do that we have to have consistent defense all season and then use that defense to create a strong offensive threat.” Holy Cross will rely on co-captains, senior Stephanie Couzin’s and junior Lisa Wilson’s on ice experience to help achieve success in the 2008-2009 season. Couzin and Wilson are the returning top point scorers for the Crusaders. Couzin played in 26 games and had 10 goals and 15 assists for 25 points, while Wilson played in 27 games and had 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points. The Crusaders will continue to look for Couzin and Wilson to lead both on and off the ice. Junior Kathryn Kelley Holy Cross senior forward, Amy McGhee will also be an active leader for the Crusaders. McGhee, a forward, played in this year’s team. “Those two classes create a core of impact play- 15 games last season and had one goal with two assists for three ers for the team,” commented Van Buskirk. Together the group points. McGhee will be called upon to be a key role player in combined for 56 goals in the 2007-2008 season, over half of the critical situations. total goals scored. The Crusaders return fi ve juniors: Wilson, Wendy Nobrega, Crusader newcomers Carly Dominick-Sobol, Brooke Miller, Kathryn Kelley, Katelyn Doherty and Kathryn O’Connor, along Amy Pfund, Nicola Garat, Kylee McIntosh and Stacey Hochkins with seven sophomores: Lindsay Atkinson, Colleen Krmpotich, will have a major impact on the 2008-2009 season. “The fresh- Jocelyn Kratchmer, Emily Henry, Louise Hillen, Christina men will play a major role in our success this season. They are D’Ambrogio and Monique Gallant, who make up the nucleus of all impact players,” said Van Buskirk. Holy Cross will face a tough non-conference schedule. The Crusaders will play host to Sacred Heart (Nov. 25) and Connecticut College (Dec. 2), and then hit the road at Wesleyan (Dec. 9) before the end of the fall semester. After the New Year, the Crusaders will continue non-conference action at Colby (Jan. 6) and home with Trinity (Jan. 20). The Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference will be competitive again in 2008-2009. “The top fi nishers from last season will once again be strong and combined with the improvement of the lower teams, create a well-balanced conference,” expects Van Buskirk. The Crusaders were selected third in the ECAC Women’s East Hockey League preseason poll behind last season’s top fi nisher Manhattanville and number two Saint Anselm.

Forwards Returning 8, Lost 4, Newcomers 3

Holy Cross has a good mix of returning players, combined with fresh talent that will make for an exciting offensive threat this season. The Crusaders return eight forwards from last season’s squad. Together the returning forwards scored 45 goals for the Crusaders. Holy Cross’ offensive strength will come from the fi rst two lines ability to score goals. Co-captain Couzin will lead the forwards and together with Kratchmer and Hochkins make up an explosive and well balanced fi rst line. Holy Cross’s second line will be equally as balanced and led by D’Ambrogio combined with Kelley and Garat to create a powerful second line. The Crusaders’ third line will be made up of O’Connor, Hillen, Nobrega, Pfund and McGhee. Junior Wendy Nobrega

Goaltenders Returning 2, Lost 1, Newcomers 1

Competition will be the key to success at the goaltender posi- tion for the Crusaders this season. Sophomores Gallant and Atkin- son will compete with freshman Dominick-Sobol for the starting role. Gallant saw the majority of the minutes in the 2007-2008 season starting in 22 games with 50 goals allowed and a .899 save percentage. In an injury plagued season, Atkinson started in fi ve games for the Crusaders with 17 goals allowed and a .848 save percentage. Coach Van Buskirk is looking for a goalie that can consistently perform all season and expects all three to see action as Gallant has the experience, Atkinson is healthy and Dominick- Sobol is very capable of contributing right away.

Senior Stephanie Couzin

Defensemen Returning 4, Lost 4, Newcomers 2

The Crusader defense will be the strength of the team. Holy Cross returns four defensemen from last year’s squad and welcomes two newcomers to the line. This season the Crusaders will have the strongest defense in coach Van Buskirk’s career. Co-captain Wilson, along with Doherty, Krmpotich and Henry, combined for 22 goals last season. The returning defensemen will use their collegiate experience to lead the strong defensive front and create offense for the Crusaders. Newcomers Miller and McIntosh will step into active roles and provide Holy Cross with an extra defensive punch. Senior Amy McGhee

Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and mentoring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An exclusively undergraduate institution with just over 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

the Hart Recreation Center, home to the basketball, swimming and hockey teams. The Smith Wellness Center includes a specialized strength and conditioning facility for varsity student-athletes, as well as aerobic equipment and workout areas for the general stu- dent 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.
