Members of the University of Maine’s men’s and women’s hockey teams have earned academic awards.

Black Bear goalie Frank Doyle was named to the 2003-2004 CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors Association) Academic All-America At-Large first team thanks to his cumulative 3.85 grade-point average in business administration.

To qualify, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore, a starter or significant reserve on his team and compile a minimum 3.2 GPA.

Maine was the only Hockey East or America East school to have a student-athlete named to the men’s Academic All-America At-Large team this year.

Former Bear hockey player Martin Kariya received the same honor in 2003.

On the ice, Doyle also shone with a 19-4 record representing the nation’s top winning percentage (.826), a 1.81 goals-against average which tied him for third; five shutouts which tied him for fifth and a .923 save percentage.

The Black Bear women’s hockey team placed 10 on the Hockey East All-Academic team with defenseman Emily Stevens and winger Cheryl White being chosen to the Academic All-Star team which honors the top GPAs by position.

The other Maine players chosen were Sonia Corriveau, Karen Droog, Morgan Janusc, Brigitte Laflamme, Laura Maddin, Lara Smart, Andrea Steranko and Ksena Tatomir.

Droog and Janusc are two-time honorees.

To qualify, an individual must receive a GPA of 3.0 in each of the two academic periods during which they were competing.
