Three Women's Ice Hockey Players Invited to U-22 Camp
May 19, 2008
Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Boston College junior Meghan Fardelmann and sophomores Molly Schaus and Kelli Stack were invited to USA Hockey's Women's Under-22 Camp, according to Monday's release. The three Eagles will be competing for spots on the 2008 U.S. Women's Under-22 Select team.
Thirty-four players were invited to participate in the new endeavor, held in Lake Placid, N.Y., from June 24 to July 1. They will be trying out for a spot on the 22-player roster. If they make it, they will also be invited back in August for the Women's National Festival and compete against Canada in the U-22 Series.
Fardelmann, Schaus and Stack were all National Festival attendees in 2007. Fardelmann led all scoring with five points on two goals and three assists. Schaus recorded 37 saves and a .949 save percentage in 100 minutes. She also registered a 1.20 goals-against average, the lowest for goalies tallying at least 100 minutes.
Fardelmann, a forward from Lansing, Kan., was also a member of the U.S. Women's Select Team which competed in the Four Nations Cup in Lesksand, Sweden, in November 2007. She notched a goal in the shutout of Sweden in the first game of the tournament. Team USA went on to claim the silver medal.
Schaus and Stack were members of the U.S. Women's National Team, which won the gold medal at the 2008 International Ice Hockey Federation World Women's Championship in Hardin, China, in April. Team USA won the gold in a 4-3 victory over Canada for its second gold medal in the last three world championships.
Stack, a Brooklyn Heights, Ohio, native, notched her first international goal in the 7-1 win over Switzerland on April 6. Schaus, a netminder from Natick, Mass., tended goal in that win. She played all 60 minutes and made one save in the victory.
