UTICA, NY- Three members of the Utica College women’s hockey team were named to the All-USCHO teams, released over the weekend. Senior Morgan Reed (Fort Myers, FL/Cushing Academy) and junior Gabrielle Schnepp (Northville, MI/Belle Tire) earned third team recognition, while freshman Lauren Patterson (Burlington, Ontario/Oakville) earned All-Rookie status.
Reed, who recently became the program’s fifth All-American, led the Pioneers this season with a career-high 44 points on 22 goals and 22 assists. She ranked fifth nationally and third in the conference with 1.57 points per game. Reed wraps up her career ranked fourth all-time at UC with 111 points. She joins All-Americans Deana Weigand ’07, Megan Myers ’14, and Stephanie Price ’07, as the only players to score over 100 points in a Pioneer uniform. She is also tied for third in program history with 54 goals to her credit and played in every game during her four-year career (109).
Schnepp was named first team All-Conference after her breakout year that saw her reach career highs in points (43) and assists (29). She finished sixth nationally with 1.54 points per game and her 1.04 assists per game were tied for second nationally. She has racked up 87 points (36 goals, 51 assists) in three years as a Pioneer.
Patterson capped off her first year campaign ranked third on the team with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists). Her 1.25 points per game were tied for the national lead in rookie scoring. Patterson became the first freshman in five years and just the fourth player in program history to score more than 30 points in her rookie season. She is also just the second player in program history to be named ECAC West Rookie of the Year, joining All-American Deana Weigand, who received the honor in 2003-04.
Utica wrapped up arguably its most successful season in program history with an overall record of 19-8-1. The Pioneers set new program records for wins and conference wins (13) in a season and reached the conference final for just the second time in program history. UC also finished the season ranked tenth in both national polls.
