Here is an article written by Richard Hungerford

Late Saturday afternoon at Kelley Rink the Colby White Mules edged the
Boston College Eagles 2-3. It was a pulsating game with both teams
giving it all they had. In the end the superior attacking concepts of
Colby were the critical difference.
There was no scoring in the first period. BC was busy boxing the Mules
out from in front of their net, and while Colby broke well, the teams
nullified each other. In the second the White Mule puck movement
increased, but it was the Eagles who converted more of their chances.
Claudia Asano (Tobin Dominick) opened the scoring for BC when she took a
nice long break out pass, deked the goalie and tucked home. The Mules
tied the match when Barb Gordon (Juliana Bontecou) stuffed the puck after
some tremendous offensive pressure. The Eagles regained the lead with a
power play goal when Erin Magee (Genevieve Missirlian) finished high
stick side. There had been a scramble in front of the Colby net and
Magee reacted quickly. As the final period started, things looked tough
for the White Mules. BC goalie Kristin Gray and her defense were playing
excessively well. However, Colby came out quick and netted two goals.
First Gordon (Meaghan Sittler) put her backhand high into the net after a
clinical 1-2. Then Sittler intercepted the puck from BC, used a defender
as a screen and drove the puck in at the far low corner to give Colby a
2-3 lead. The rest of the third period was wild with both teams
producing a number of excellent scoring chances. It was a great game to
watch!
Colby played a wonderfully entertaining match. Coach Laura Halldorson
and new assistant Andrea Boudreau (Brown '95) have an engaging offensive
plan. Clearly the coach believes in her players and they respond. The
result is a team who uses the entire ice surface so well. Colby's
passing and the use of the whole attacking zone to create chances is
superb. The women of the match for the Mules have to be Gordon and
Sittler. Both have exceptional skating, stickhandling and passing
skills. Sittler is strong and never gives up no matter how hard it
gets. Her moves are super. Gordon is ingenious. She uses space well to
setup her mates. Gordon is also a first-class defender and can dominate
the game from her blue line. Together they are a treat to watch! Rebecca
Floor was the other Colby forward that caught my eye. Another smart
player, she flowed exceedingly well. The Mules have a very small squad
and for most of the game only used three defenders. Captain Sarah Gelman
played a very bright match and provided good defensive coverage. Stacy
Joslin was another tough defender. Goalie Marie Polichronopoulos came up
big in the third. I'll have to say it's somewhat unfair to pick out
individuals on this team, as the key is that they play so well together.
Every Colby player executed their part very well. Sure there were
errors, but it's just exciting to see a team play such a marvelous
attacking style and be in touch with each other. Merci beau coup!
Boston College played their hearts out. They use a very limiting style
of play. Getting the confidence/skills ratio right is the hardest job
for a coach. I feel BC could do much better using more of its squad,
developing the skating, and showing trust in the players. The woman of
the match for the Eagles had to be goalie Gray. She is the finest
netminder I have seen this season. Captain Gray is a wall, stopping
pucks in so many ways, and making it look easy. The defense was lead by
Dominick who is a super strong player. The other BC captain is a fine
team leader who pulls her team together on the ice. Beckie Duvall was
the other defender that impressed me with her good reads. She reacted
well to the flow of play. The attack was lead by first-year center
Asano. She is a real sniper. Asano almost won the game for the Eagles
with her numerous solo bursts. She should be a big scorer in the ECAC.
Laura Traynham played a smart heads-up game. She did so many little
things that helped make her team work. Overall BC looked pretty good.
They will give many teams more than they are want this season.

Here is an article written by Richard Hungerford
(email@hidden):
Sunday afternoon at Bright the Harvard Crimson played a good match on the
way to a 3-0 win over ECAC and Ivy league rival Yale. The Bulldogs spent
much of the game absorbing Crimson attacks. Harvard displayed better
team work on their way to victory.
The Crimson started quickly when Alice DuBois (Colleen Malek) tipped a
point shot high stick side. Harvard had surged forward and was mounting
pressure on the Eli net. At times the first period resembled a tip drill
for the Crimson. Yale was somewhat tentative, but hung tough and did not
allow any more goals. In the second period AJ Mleczko (DuBois, Holly
Leitzes) stole the puck from a defender trying to clear, and slide her
chance under the goalie's pads. The play was made by the perfect low
shot from the point. Yale continued to soak up the Crimson attack and
started some break outs of their own. Toward the end of the period
Christa Calagione (DuBois, Mleczko) made it 3-0 Harvard when her power
slap shot from the point found net inside the low near post. The Eli
defense had collapsed in on the play. In the third period there was no
scoring. Yale continued to thwart Crimson attacks and occasionally broke
out. Harvard seemed to be working on a few play variations, some of
which looked promising.
Yale does well with an extremely small number of players. I was very
glad to see former PC coach John Marchetti as an assistant with Yale. I
for one would like to see him coaching Team USA Women in the '96 Pacific
Rim. He is a very intelligent coach and it's good to have him back in
the ECAC. The Yale woman of the match was goalie Laurie Belliveau. The
sophomore keeper has a great glove, some fast leg pads and is difficult
to score on. Belliveau made some amazing saves. Senior defender Emily
Coven exhibited some good control in her own zone. She was tough to get
by all afternoon. Amanda Adams was the Eli forward with the most zip.
Her driving skating help the Bulldogs break out of their zone, and she
came close to scoring a couple of time. Overall Yale has much work to do
on the basics before it will be able to challenge in either league.
Harvard strung together some respectable passes today. However the
attack plan is so flat it makes it extremely difficult for many plays to
come off. Some of the ideas were encouraging and perhaps time will
produce better results. The woman of the match for Harvard was again
co-captain Holly Leitzes. Operating from the blue line her fine skating
and passing setup many plays. I particularly liked the way Leitzes could
keep a play moving by rolling and feeding. That caused others to roll
and the resulting fluidity looked good. Christa Calagione also was
steady on defense and constructed a number of nice surges. First-year
defender Olivia Nottebohm saw some action today and looked up to the
task. On the attack I continue to be impressed with first-years DuBois
and Kyle Walsh. The first line wings are making space for each other
awfully well. The third line of Casi Walker, Lauren Turner and
co-captain Ellen Frump showed the best team work today. Some of the
dishes they made to each other were fab. First-year Jens Landry and
Gerometta also had an excellent match of setting each other up. Landry
pulled off a couple of nice rushes. Overall the Crimson put together a
solid team effort. The next three league matches should tell much about
the progress of the Harvard Women.

Hello! I am 16 years old, and I have wanted to play ice hockey for as
long as I can remember. Does anyone know about a women's hockey team
around Portland, OR? My dad used to play, so he said that he'd teach me,
but it would be easier if we had a team to play with. I've played "Gym
Hockey" as I call it in P.E., and that got me excited about the sport. My
friends all think I'm crazy to start now, but it's never too late to
learn something new.
I can ice skate just fine, and I've been working on my hockey stops, but
I need training. If anyone knows any information, please send it to
email@hidden
I would appreciate anything.

Subject: Toronto Red Wings vs. Miss. Chiefs
Message-ID:
I saw a womens AA game this weekend in Toronto featuring the Toronto Red
Wings vs. Mississigua (sp) Chiefs. It was a very entertaining game, with the
wings snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The goalie for the chiefs
played an inspired game, but came up on the short end. The crowd seemed to
be partisan to the Chiefs, or at least the Chiefs fans were more vocal. My
wife and I taped the game to show her "C" team. I think they will be
inspired. I was dissappointed in not seeing Andria Hunter playing. I would
of liked to put a face/player with an e-mail address:-) Where were you
Andria, Marc Ouellette said you were on that team?
Anyway, we enjoyed our trip to Toronto and hope to come back. I would like
any information or contact person for the Brampton Tournament if anyone knows
it.
Thanks Marc for the information and directions to the game.
