ECAC Women's Hockey Release #4, December 11, 1995
Due to the Christmas Break, the next ECAC Women's Hockey Release will be
issued on Tuesday, January 2.
THE BAUER/ECAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
A.J. Mleczko, Harvard (New Canaan, CT) - A junior forward, A.J. Mleczko
recorded five goals in an 8-1 win over Middlebury, tying a Harvard record
for most goals in a game. She also had an assist in this game. In a 7-0
blanking of Williams, she tallied a goal and an assist to move into
second-place on the career scoring list.
THE COOPER/ECAC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Ali Coughlin, Princeton (Lincoln, MA) - A freshman center, Ali Couglin
scored four goals to lead the Tigers to a 7-3 victory over league-leading
Northeastern. One tally was on the power play and the other was the
game-winning goal. It was her second hat trick of the season, and it came
naturally.
ECAC HONOR ROLL
Andrea Blakely, St. Lawrence (Nepean, ONT) - In an offensive outpouring
against RPI, this junior forward tallied four goals and two assists to lead
her team to a 17-0 rout of the Engineers, an ECAC Alliance team.
Karen Chernisky, Princeton (Maple Heights, OH) - The junior forward had
an impressive week, totaling four goals and two assists in a 7-3 victory
over Northeastern and a 5-3 loss to Dartmouth.
Melisa Heitzman, New Hampshire (Bloomington, MN) - A rookie left wing,
Heitzman accounted for half of her team's scoring in a 6-1 league win over
Colby. She scored her first collegiate hat trick and added an assist. One
goal came on the power play and another was the game-winner.
Erin Magee, Boston College (Troy, NY) - This team-leading rookie center
recorded five goals and three assists in a 2-0-1 week for the Eagles.
Marie Polichronopoulos, Colby (Manchester, NH) - A junior netminder,
Polichronopoulos braved the potent UNH attack in the only league game of
the week and made 61 saves in a losing effort. She faced this assault with
the support of just three total defensemen and seven forwards.
Laura Traynham, Boston College (Billerica, MA) - A junior forward,
Traynham led BC to a three-game unbeaten string with five goals and two
assists. She netted 3-1-4 against Bowdoin.
Sarah Vogler, Dartmouth (Birmingham, MI) - In her first game back since
an early season injury, the senior defensman had a goal and two assists in
the Big Green's two victories. Her defensive play helped set the tempo and
establish Dartmouth's presence.
Jessica Wagner, Northeastern (Ramsey, MN) - A junior forward, Wagner led
her team in a 4-2 victory over Providence with two goals and one assist.
NEW HAMPSHIRE PREVAILS IN ONLY ECAC GAME; BOSTON COLLEGE RECORDS FIRST TWO
VICTORIES
With just one ECAC league game on tap last week, it was New Hampshire who
moved into a first-place tie with Northeastern after its 6-1 defeat of
Colby. Freshman Melisa Heitzman led the attack for the Wildcats with her
first career hat trick and an assist. Boston College got into the win
column with two non-league victories against Bowdoin, 7-1, and Middlebury,
4-3. The Eagles also tied Yale, 2-2. Team-leading scorer Erin Magee
registered five goals and three assists in this stretch. Princeton came up
with a big 7-3 win over Northeastern in another non-league tilt, but then
turned around and dropped a 5-3 decision to Ivy foe Dartmouth, 5-3. Ali
Coughlin, another one of this year's sensational ECAC rookies, led the
Tigers in their NU victory, scoring four goals. This was Princeton's first
win against the Huskies since the 1982-83 season.

I wanted to express my pleasure with the new expanded ECAC Women's weekly
release. The people at Brown and the ECAC are doing a great job. The
added detail of the Honor Roll and the short game summaries are very
enjoyable. Merci!
I have suggested to the people who put out the release that they consider
adding a Defensive player of the week award, like the WCHA. Now I love
offense more than most people, but I feel defenders and defensive
forwards deserve some credit, and not just when they get a couple of points.
To me stats do not tell the whole story.
Having attended both Harvard Women's games last weekend, I find it hard
to believe that AJ Mleczko is player of the week. Padding one's stats
against a non-league side can hardly be much of an achievement. Throw in
a few cross-checks and I really don't get it. Someone on UNH had to have
a heck of game in defeating Colby in a league match and holding the USA
Selects to only a 3-5 loss. My point is, what with Info-Hockey-L and
various web sites, I feel a more informed choice could be made. Using
stats is not always the best concept.

HELP !!!
I am hosting a 6 team tournament. The 'our teams coach' is asking that I run the
tournament with a 4 game per team format. If you have any idea's on how to do
this so that it is fair to all 6 teams I would appreciate the help.
Thank You
Dave O'Leary

1. Have a partial round robin where each team plays 4 of the other 5
teams, and give awards based on standings after the round robin. An
advantage of this is that no team will play the same team twice.
2. Have a partial round robin where each team plays 3 of the other 5
teams. Based on standings after the round-robin, have 1 play 2 for 1st
place, 3 play 4 for 3rd, and 5 play 6 for 5th. An advantage of this is
that the awards are determined directly by winning one game, rather than by
counting up goals for and against, etc.
3. Change the format. Recruit 2 more teams, or reduce your entry fee and
offer 3-games-guaranteed, or do something else creative. This
4-games-a-team assumes that you've got 12 game-lengths of ice time plus
enough of a cushion for injuries, tie breaking, and so on. Do you really
have this much ice? Why not 9 slightly-longer games (3 per team) instead?
Or use the extra ice time to put on a clinic, have an open skate for
players and fans, have shootout competitions and skate races, or invite two
elite female teams to play an exhibition game? If you're in an isolated
area and these 6 teams are the only ones able to travel to your tournament,
consider putting on a Jamboree instead. In a Jamboree, all participating
players are divided up onto fair teams for the day. That way, a wider
age/skill range of players can participate in competition, and individual
players can play even if the rest of their team can't.
