ELMIRA, N.Y. —Emma Crocker ’21 of the nationally-ranked Elmira College women’s ice hockey team added another award to her impressive résumé from the 2019-20 campaign, as the standout forward was named to the All-U.S. College Hockey Online (USCHO) First Team by the digital publication.
A First-Team CCM/AHCA First-Team All-American, the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) Player of the Year, a UCHC All-Tournament Team selection and the Division III statistical champion for game-winning goals, Crocker ranked among the top point-getters in the country with a breakout junior season.
Crocker, the only student-athlete from the UCHC on the All-USCHO First or Second Team, finished with career highs across the board, including a conference-leading 44 points on 21 goals and 23 assists. Her 44 points were 16 higher than her previous career high. She finished third in the nation in points per game (1.57), seventh in goals per game (0.75), and tied for seventh in power-play goals (7).
The Abington, Massachusetts, native logged multi-point performances in 14 of 25 games and scored two or more goals in five games this season. Additionally, her impact on the outcome of games was undeniable, as the Soaring Eagles went 14-1-0 in games in which Crocker found the back of the net.
