Maine Black Bears 2011-2012

Maine also has two returning senior goal tenders in Brittany Ott and Kylie Smith. As you say, they also have a very large freshmen class. I look for them to improve as the season progresses as the freshmen make the adjustment to division 1 hockey.

Don't forget leading scorer Britt Dougherty returning for her senior year.

Yes they were a surprise starting with 2 earley wins over Quinnipiac at the beginning of last year. Never mind wins against BU 2x's and BC and Northeastern. Its amazing to see what good coaching can do. They should be better this year, they have a large good incoming freshman class. Have only heard great things about Maine Women's Hockey Program,.
I do believe however the team to beat this year will be our Gophers Team they to have good freshmen players coming in.

Did I miss a game? When did the black bears beat us? Last time I heard about that was 2009.

Though I do see big things out of Maine this year. I see them in contention for 4th with PC, UNH and UConn.

I suspect Jessica was heavily recruited. She is a good athlete who also ran X-country and played baseball.
