CATZ Athletes in NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

CATZ would like to congratulate Christine Capuano and Rush Zimmerman for helping their teams advance to the 2005 NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Championship!

Christine Capuano (Stoneham, MA) is a sophomore at Dartmouth University playing in her second NCAA Division I National Championship. Notoriously tough in front of the net, sophomore Capuano (12-2-0, 1.93, .908) has started three of the Big Green's four postseason games. When she posted a 4-0 quarterfinal victory over Colgate on March 4, it was the eighth postseason shutout in Dartmouth history. Capuano had not played since Feb. 11. Capuano then played both games at the ECACHL Championship. Five of her wins this season came against ranked teams, as have nine of her 19 career victories.
