Re: 2019 Transfers

It'll be interesting to see if she can make an impact in DIII given her DI stats.

I tend to throw D1 stats out the window. If they were putting up numbers in D1 odds are they wouldn't be transferring to a D3 program (or any other program at all, most productive players stay put). Granted not every D1 to D3 skater turns into Darby Dodds or Erin Brand, but I don't think it's prudent to use a lack of production to prejudge their potential.

I completely agree with you, I messed up the tone of my post. I really am interested in seeing what she can do. It may (or may not) provide another data point in the difference from one level to the next.

I’m also guessing she’s going to have lots of pressure on her since Tess Adams graduated. Which I think would be totally unfair to the young lady.

I don't think there will be as much expectation on her as much as there will be on incoming freshman Cassidy Gruning, who scored 48 points (28 G, 20 A) for the Massachusetts Division 1 HS champions Tewksbury/Methuen Co-op. Her linemate there was Massachusetts leading HS scorer Julia Massota (79 points), who is going to Norwich. Tewksbury/Methuen is the same team that produced Amanda Conway. If I had to guess who would pick up the load for Adams at Suffolk I would guess Gruning before Burton.

Either way this should be a fun team to watch. They started strong last year and seemed to falter a little as the season progressed. With solid coaching and a season under their belt the (17!) freshmen should rise to the occasion.
