BRUNSWICK — A trio of Bowdoin College women’s ice hockey players garnered All-New England Small College Athletic Conference recognition in awards handed out by the league on Tuesday.
The Polar Bears netted three Second Team All- NESCAC choices — junior forward Julie Dachille, junior defender Brigit Bergin and sophomore goaltender Kerri St. Denis of Harpswell.
Bowdoin was one of just two teams to place three players on the All-NESCAC teams.
Dachille leads the Polar Bears in scoring this winter, recording 17 points on 10 goals and seven assists. Ranking fifth in the league in goals, Dachille has recorded three power-play tallies, two game-winners, and leads active Bowdoin players with 46 career points.
Bergin helped anchor a Bowdoin defensive unit that allowed just 1.56 goals per game this season. She also became a consistent contributor to the Polar Bear offense this year, more than doubling her career point output with two goals and nine assists.
St. Denis was honored after a spectacular campaign that saw her record a 1.18 goals-against-average and .957 save percentage, both ranking second in the NESCAC. She has recorded six shutouts, the third-most in Division III this season, including a 41-save shutout in the NESCAC quarterfinal last weekend at Hamilton.
The Polar Bears will return to action in the NESCAC semifinals at Middlebury on Saturday afternoon.
