The Newcomer of the Year award went to midfielder Holly Manthei, whose 30 assists broke the old Irish mark. And, for the fourth consecutive year, Chris Petrucelli was MCC Player of the Year Rosella Guerrero heads for the net. Guerrero led the Irish with 21 goals, including eight game winners. named MCC coach of the year. Guerrero, Manthei, freshman Kate Sobrero, sophomores Cindy Daws and Jen Renola, and junior Michelle McCarthy were all named first-team All-MCC. Renola posted a miniscule .641 goals against average, includ- ing 15 shutouts. She and Daws both earned first team All-American hon- ors. In only their seventh year of existence, the Irish ended one of the longest winning streaks in sports history and staked their claim to the top spot in women ' s soccer. Although in the end they fell to a team with the kind of tradition that Irish fans are used to having on their side, perhaps the 1994 season marked the beginning of a new tradition in women ' s soccer.

Irish Icemen begin building for next year by Jim Korczak The Irish hockey team struggled through most of the year, but a closer inspection provides a much brighter outlook. Team statistics aside, the play of numerous underclassmen offered hope for the future. Junior Center Jamie Ling led the team in total points, while sophomore Right Winger Tim Harberts posted the most goals for the season. Harberts was drafted by HOCKEY FILE the Pittsburgh Penguins coming out of high school. The freshmen class showed potential as well. Goaltender Matt Eisler posted a .850 save per- centage part way through the season. Other first year contributors were defensemen Justin Theel, and forwards Steve Noble and Lyle Andrusiak. Andrusiak was the team ' s fifth leading scorer. 1994-95 Hockey team members are front row; Coach Ric Schafer, Erik Berg, Jeff Hasselman, John Rushin, Brent Lamppa, Wade Salzman, Brett Bruininks, Troy Cusey, Carey Nemeth, Matt Eisler, coach Tom Carroll. Second row; Cyril James, Davide Dal Grande, Garry Gruber, Jamie Morshead, Jamie Ling, Chris Bales, Jay Matushak, Jeremy Coe, Rob Bolton, coach Andy Slaggert. Back row; Kristin Lechner, Tim Harberts, Ryan Thornton, Steve Noble, Kevin Young, Terry Lorenz, Brian McCarthy, Lyle Andrusiak, Justin Theel, Ben Nelson, Sean McAlister and Sarah Archambeault. The team played most opponents close, through two periods, only to have the opponent pull away in the last 20 minutes. The team posted a win- ning record when holding the opponent under three goals. Most notably the big- gest start of the year came against the Michi- gan Wolverines at The Palace in Auburn Hills, Mi. The Irish jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and remained tied 3-3 with the Wolverines part way through the second period. But the scoring ended there as they gave up six unan- swered goals. I think we surprised them in the first period, commented coach Ric Schafer. Unfortunately they got mad and picked it up from that point on. Season record aside, the individual statistics of many players show promise for the future.
