Meghann Treacy ’11 Named to Hockey East First Team

A University of Maine junior goaltender who has twice been named goaltender of the month by the Hockey East Association, has now received an even bigger honor. Meghann Treacy ’11 was named to the Hockey East First Team at the Hockey East Awards banquet last week. She is just the third Maine to earn a spot on the Hockey East First Team, according to a press release by the school.

The University of Maine press release further stated, ” Treacy finished 9-18-2 this season with a 2.41 goals against average and a .930 save percentage. She recorded three shutouts. Treacy’s .930 save percent set the school record for best save percentage in a single season and currently ranks 13th in the nation. The previous mark was .926 set in 2002-03 by Dawn Froats and tied in 2005-06 by Rachel Gettings. She finished 8-10-1 in Hockey East play with a 2.60 goals against average and a .929 save percentage.

Treacy earned Hockey East Goaltender of the Month honors in both October and November. In October, Treacy made 41 saves in Maine’s 4-2 win over sixth-ranked Boston University. In November, Maine registered at least a point in four of her five starts and she allowed more than two goals only once.”

Alumni Fight Valiently, Fall to Varsity Boys Basketball

DSC_0635Fifteen intrepid alumni took on a very tall…and long…boys varsity basketball team in our annual alumni boys’ basketball game before a crowd of 50 or so spectators.

Coach Pilgrim ’81 employed a Kentucky platoon system, hoping to stay with the younger opponents. The alumni dashed out to a quick 6-5 lead behind two 3-pointers by Pat McKinnon ’05. (As it is after you hit a beautiful golf shot, we should have just walked away right then!)

The alumni put up a valiant fight in the second half, led by Malcolm Brown ’89 and Andrew Hurd ’09, whose outside shooting earned him the Tiger Craig Alumni Boys’ Basketball Game MVP Award. Despite the lopsided score, the alumni had a lot of fun. Stephen Hoyt ’95 and Kirk Minihane ’95, along with Brown, did an admirable job of representing the “more experienced” alumni, while the Class of 2005 had a great showing with five players back, including Darrell Harrison who flew in from Atlanta, GA and Owen Tuleja, fresh in from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Afterwards, the alumni retired to Amy’s Place for some adult beverages and appetizers to soothe the muscles.
