At the blueline, the Black Bears will be led by junior defenseman Kelly Nelson (8,4), who will assist sophomore netminder Amanda Cronin (3.75 GAA).
12. Boston College
The Eagles (8-22-2, 4-20-2) will need a lot of energy and enthusiasm to compete for postseason action this year. And Boston College is hoping that most of that enthusiasm will come from first-year Coach Tom Babson.
For experience in the offensive zone, Babson will look to junior forward Jennifer Buckley (16, 21) and senior forward Gena Nolin (13, 21). Junior forward Amber Bobin (9, 15) and sophomore forward Jan Jorge (5, 16) will also figure highly in the Eagles' offensive attack.
The Eagles lost three of their top defensemen to graduation. Junior Heather Lombardo (0, 5) has the most experience at this position, which leaves a lot of the defensive responsibility in the hands of senior goaltender Christy Nentwig (4.86 GAA).
