MAGUIRE NAMED CAPTAIN, AWARDS ANNOUNCED Freshman netminder Rachel Barrie was named team Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year at the St. Lawrence University women's hockey team banquet and senior-to-be Meghan Maguire was announced as the team's captain for the 2001-2002 season. The assistant captains for the Saints are Jessica Wilson and Colleen Coakley, both of whom will be seniors in the fall. Barrie, an American Hockey Coaches Association second-team All-America pick, as well as second-team All-ECAC, All-Rookie and Rookie of the Year pick, also won the team's Most Valuable Player award and the Rookie of the Year award. Barrie set the program's Division I records for goals against average (2.07), save percentage (.928) and wins (15). Wilson, along with Potsdam native Lindsay Charlebois, earned Co-Most Improved Player awards at the banquet. Wilson tallied a career-high 25 points with 13 goals and 12 assists in 2000-2001, up from her 11-point total in her sophomore season. Charlebois' improvement from September through March earned her award. The rookie tallied three goals and two-assists from her spot on the blueline. The Seventh Player Award was given not to a single player, but a group of players who were the glue that held the team together. The entire senior class of Stacy Boudrias, Nicole Kirnan, Emily Stein, Caroline Trudeau and Caryn Ungewitter were given the award for the incredible sacrifice to the program, not just during the course of the season, but during their entire four-year careers. The class of 2001 brought the program from Division I anonymity in 1997-98 to the national championship game in 2000-2001. The class twice helped set the school record for wins (18 in 1999-2000 and upping it to 24 in 2000-2001) and graduates with a record of 61-57-9, including a 42-23-4 mark over the past two seasons. Coakley, a constant presence on the Saints blueline, and Wilson will each be first-year captains next season, filling the voids left by St. Lawrence all-time leading goal scorer Trudeau and the sixth all-time leading point scorer in Kirnan. This will be Maguire's second season as a captain after serving as a co-captain over the past season.
