  • ELMIRA, N.Y. —Emma Crocker ’21 of the Elmira College women’s ice hockey team added another milestone to an already incredible junior season, as the Abington, Massachusetts, native was named the NCAA Division III Statistical Champion for game-winning goals with six during the 2019-20 campaign.
  • Crocker, who was previously named an AHCA/CCM First-Team All-American, the 2020 United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) Player of the Year, and an All-UCHC First Teamer, became just the third skater in Elmira’s illustrious history to claim the national statistical title for game-winning goals. She joins Cassidy Delainey ’15 (2015) and the late, great Laura Hurd ’05 (2005) as Elmira’s national statistical champions in that category.
  • In 28 games this season, Crocker produced six game-winning goals that came against King’s (Pa.) on two occasions (Nov. 10 & Feb. 8), Stevenson (Jan. 18), Morrisville State (Jan. 21), Utica (Feb. 23), and Manhattanville (Mar. 8) in the UCHC title game. Her six game-winning tallies are tied for fourth in EC single-season history and her nine career game-winners are one shy of cracking Elmira’s top-10 list.
