Senior Jordan Webb (Nepean, ONT) was named the ECACHL Player of the Week,
making it the second straight week a Union College men's hockey player has
earned the award.

Webb led Union to a two-game sweep over RPI in a
home and home series over the weekend with three goals and an assist.  It was the first time in school history the
Dutchmen swept the Engineers.  In the
opener, Union skated to an exciting 5-4 win at
Houston Field House.  The next night fans
were treated to another thriller as the Dutchmen came away with a 3-2 victory
at Messa Rink. 
Webb also made history in front of the home crowd as he moved up to
second on Union's Division I all-time scoring
list. 

In the
first game Webb scored a goal and had one assist.  The goal came at 12:47 of the first period to break a 1-1
tie.  He then assisted on Union's third goal of the game to help break a 3-3 tie in the
second period.  Webb followed that up with a pair of power play goals in
the series finale.  He broke open a scoreless game with back-to-back goals
in the second period to give Union a two-goal lead. 

Webb now
has 10 goals on the season to tie him for first overall in the league.  He
is also first in the league in power play goals with seven. 

Webb's
first goal of the second game gave him 96 career points, passing former player
Chris Albert.  He now stands at 97 points
and needs just eight more to overtake Christopher Ford. 

Junior Scott Seney (Silver Spring, MD) was named to the ECACHL Honor Roll
following an impressive offensive display. 
He recorded two goals and two assists. 
Both goals came in the first game and the second would prove to be the
game-winner.  His second assist the
following night came on Union's game-winning goal. 
He leads the team with nine assists and has three goals on the season.

Union (5-5-0, 4-0-0) has won four straight for
its best ECACHL start in team history as they sit atop the league standings.  They will look to continue their win streak
at Princeton this Friday to start a nine-game
road trip.

     SCHENECTADY,
N.Y.-Senior forward Brittany Cressman capped a brilliant career by scoring a
pair of goals to lift Union to a 2-0 victory over Plattsburgh in the
championship game of the Eastern College Athletic Conference's Upstate New York
women's soccer tournament on College Park Field.

It was the first-ever ECAC title for the Dutchwomen.

   Cressman, who had
an assist in the Dutchwomen's 3-1 semi-final win over Rochester, was named the
event's Most Valuable Player.  The
Duxbury, Massachusetts, native, who earlier this months was named the Liberty
League's Player of the Year, finished second on Union's all-time scoring list
with 49 goals, 43 assists and 141 points. 
Her 43 career assists are also a team record as is the 18 helpers she
had this year.  Cressman finished this
year as the Dutchwomen's leading scorer with 16 goals and 50 points. 

Cressman picked up her fourth game-winner of the season when
she scored an unassisted tally with 2:58 left in the first half.  She put the game away with 9:55 remaining in
the season by converting Jen Ondash's pass. 

Junior goaltender Julie Gawronski tied her own record (set
last year) by picking up her 19th win of the season against two
losses and a tie.  The win was the 44th
of her career while the shutout was a single-season standard of 15 and her
record-setting 25th overall.  The
Dunkirk, New York, finished with five saves.

Senior Kaleen McCool had six saves for the Cardinals, who
finished at 16-6-0.

The top-seeded Dutchwomen will be trying for their
first-ever Eastern College Upstate New York soccer championship this weekend at
College Park Field.  Union will play No.
4 Rochester in Saturday's 12 o'clock semi-final while No. 2 William Smith meets
No. 3 Plattsburgh State at 2:30.  The
championship is set for Sunday at 1 p.m.

Union's only other ECAC invitation came in 1991, which
capped the first winning season in the history of the program, which began in
1983.  The 17-2-1 Dutchwomen can tie the
program's all-time single-season victory record of 19, set last year, if they
can capture the ECAC title.  The Garnet
advanced to the semi-final round by beating Vassar, 5-2, in Wednesday's
quarterfinal game.  Union and Rochester,
which is 12-5-2 after defeating Skidmore, 2-0, in a quarterfinal game, battled
to a 0-0 double overtime tie earlier this season.

William Smith, 13-3-3, and Brockport battled to a 0-0
overtime tie in the quarterfinal game with the Herons advancing by virtue of
its 4-3 penalty kick advantage. 
Plattsburgh comes into the semi-final game at 15-5-0 after crushing
Elmira, 8-0, on Wednesday.

The praise poured into Grant Hall this week in the form of
phrases like “Accessible, friendly professors,” “Beautiful campus,” “Great
tours, even though they were large” and “Best organized of all colleges we've
visited.”

It's enough to make an admissions staff giddy, which
apparently they are after welcoming some 1,200 visitors over three fall open
houses.

“In speaking with Union students, faculty, and staff and high
school student visitors and their parents — and I've heard from many — a
universal 'best-compared-to-all-others' theme emerges,” said Dan Lundquist,
vice president for admissions.

Attendance was at record levels for the Columbus Day,
Local Student and Veteran's Day open houses, according to Lilia Tiemann,
coordinator of event planning for admissions.

“Whether it was opening a classroom, giving just one more
tour, speaking on panels or chatting with students and parents at lunch, members
of the Union family made the day a great success,” she said. “Their help is invaluable
on these special recruitment days, encouraging the best and the brightest to
choose Union.” 

And we're not done yet. Tiemann asks us to mark our
calendars for Acceptance Days on April 11 and April 18.
