2004-2005 Yellowjackets Preview

The UW-Superior women’s hockey team is back and ready to compete for a second straight NCHA Championship and a chance to make it to the 2005 NCAA Frozen Four Championship.

The Jackets will depend highly upon their 18 returning players. Noted returning forwards include; leading scorer and All-American sophomore Erin Kegley, sophomore Lindsay Bennett, senior captain and all-time leading scorer Amy Kachinske, sophomore Vi Theofylatos, sophomore Ashley Jenkins and sophomore Kyla Thibideau. Noted returning defensemen include; junior captain Nadine Aubin, junior Tara Evoy, sophomore Caitlin Jarrett, sophomore Susan Crabb and senior captain Marianne Bortolin. Anchoring the nets will be junior Kristy Faechner who was among the top goaltenders in the nation last season, sophomore Elyse Dowdell and sophomore Liz Korbol.

The Jackets will also look for leadership in their freshman class. Noted freshman include forward Jamie Cincotta from Centennial High School, Minnesota. Freshman Brittany Arendt will add depth to the Yellowjacket defense. Other noted freshmen include power forward Rae Hannah from Notre Dame Hockey Academy in Saskatchewan, Canada, Hally Sharrow from Superior Senior High and Gina Baranzelli from Eveleth-Gilbert High School in Minnesota.

Last year’s NCHA Coach of the Year, Dan Laughlin, will be back for his second season as along with assistant Coach Rodney Graham. Laughlin anticipates an exciting and successful season. “This year’s team will now have the experience needed to compete day in and day out,” Laughlin said.
