SCSU ALL-TIME RECORD: In two seasons, the Huskies have charted a 21-31-5
overall record. Last year the Huskies were 13-19-3 overall and placed
fourth in the WCHA with a 6-15-3 record. The 1999-2000 season marked the
first year the Huskies have played in the WCHA.
FINAL 1999-00 RECORD: The Huskies finished the 1999-2000 season with an
overall record of 13-19-3 and a 6-15-3 record in the WCHA.
1999-2000 SEASON WRAP: Finishing atop the scoring chart for SCSU was
sophomore forward Fiona McLeod, who scored 18 goals and 12 assists for 30
points in 1999-2000. McLeod's 30 points makes her the all-time leading
scorer in the short history of SCSU women's hockey Finishing just behind
McLeod in scoring was first year forward Jennifer Swanson, who tallied 11
goals and 18 assists for 29 points.. Other leading scorers for SCSU were
sophomore Amanda Presenger (8-10-18), first year forward Abby Cooper
(9-6-15), first year forward Erin McNamara (7-10-17), and junior forward
Rachel Denner (9-4-13) The Huskies leading goaltender for the 1999-2000
season was first year athlete Laura Gieselman, whose play could be deemed
nothing short of brilliant. Gieselman, who saw a nation leading 989 shots
this season, finished with a 4.19 goals against average, and a saves
percentage of .884. Those states are very deceiving, however, as
Gieselman's play kept the Huskies in numerous games all season.
