By DOYLE WOODY Assistant sports editor Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION They've got goaltending galore -- senior Lee Schill is the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's best returning goalie and sophomore Chris Davis has proven himself capable. They've got defense, too the seven returning blueliners combined with Schill and Davis to distinguish themselves as the league's third stingiest unit. And experience? Try 18 returning players from a squad that made a more- than-respectable sixth-place debut during their first season in the 10-team WCHA last season. But as the University of Alaska Anchorage sets its 1994-95 sights on a top five finish in the WCHA -- the top five teams gain home ice advantage for first- round playoff series -- not everything is as smooth as freshly Zambonied ice. There is this little nagging question about goals. Namely, who are they going to come from? Especially since coach Brush Christiansen wants his Seawolves to score 20 more goals than they did last season. And it's not as if UAA was an offensive dynamo during last season's 15-19-2 campaign, when it was eighth in the league in goals per game (3.44) and didn't place a scorer among the league's Top 20. The Seawolves were one of just two league teams that did not feature a 20-goal scorer. And their power play was just eighth in the league. The Seawolves also lost 30 percent of their scoring, most of it with the losses of Keith Morris (16 goals) and Mitch Kean (12), who finished their collegiate careers last season. Not to worry, the Seawolves say, it'll all work out. Everyone just has to pull his own weight. ""The most important thing is to get one more goal than the other team,'' said UAA junior defenseman Jeremy Mylymok. The Seawolves' one returning scoring line is an all-senior trio featuring captain Mark Stitt (15 goals last season) centering wingers Paul Williams (13) and Troy Norcross (10). ""I'm hoping for a similar year from that line,'' said UAA coach Brush Christiansen. ""They were our most consistent line (last year). It seemed like they were a threat every game.'' On defense and in goal, though, the Seawolves don't have many worries. The defensive pairings that UAA employed at season's end Mylymok and Trent Leggett, WCHA All- Rookie Team selection Todd Bethard and Petri Tuomisto, and Darren Meek and Jason White all return. So does Chris Kerr, who played 13 games and appears to have rehabilitated nagging shoulder injuries. ""Being a team that doesn't score many goals, it's important not to give up many goals,'' Junior Jeremy Mylymok said. ""I'm pretty confident we can shut down any top team in the league. In goal, Schill was a second-team all-WCHA selection last season when he compiled a 3.46 goals against average, a .891 saves percentage and earned the Seawolves some victories they probably didn't deserve. ""He stole games for us,'' said UAA assistant coach John Hill. While Schill played in 32 of UAA's 36 games, Davis played in just nine. At first glance his 4.15 goals against and .879 saves percentage don't look like much. But throw out a nine-goal shelling he took at Colorado College in his collegiate starting debut and his numbers in all others games were 3.27 and .899. So the Seawolves seem secure in goal. ""It's a coach's dream to have two extremely skilled Division I goaltenders,'' Christiansen said. ""Lee Schill had a great year last year, got us some crucial wins and helped some of our young defense, helped give them some confidence. The defense feels confident with either one of those goaltenders in there.'' All in all, the Seawolves sound confident, just as every team does in the pre- season. And, based on last season's WCHA debut, in which they set a league record for most points by a first-year team, they have some reason for optimism. ""We'd like to build on what we did last year,'' Christiansen said. ""You always want to get better every year. After being sixth last year, we definitely want to be in the top five this year. That's our goal.''
