ALBANY, N.Y. — ECAC Hockey has announced that the winner of the 2021 Player of the Year award is Colgate University sophomore Danielle Serdachny.
Having already been named Best Forward and First-Team All-League, Serdachny (Edmonton, Alb.) earns the highest on-ice honor in ECAC Hockey after an incredible sophomore campaign. She led the league in scoring during conference play, recording 13 points on seven goals and six assists. She registered 20 points overall, ranking in the top-15 nationally with 0.95 points per-game.
Her scoring touch this season came when her team needed it most, as six of her nine goals came in the third period. She led the league in game-winning goals, scoring three, including two against league opponents. Her consistency throughout the season was key for Colgate, as Serdachny recorded at least one point in 14 of 20 games, and had six multi-point outings.
On two different occasions, Serdachny’s weekly performances were honored by the league, as she was named ECAC Hockey Player of the Week on January 11 and March 1.
