With the ECAC regular season coming to a close, Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey standouts were recognized through multiple conference awards.

Sophomore goaltender Felicia Frank led the way for the Bobcats, winning the MAC Goaltending Goalie of the Year Award as well as being named to the All-ECAC First Team.

The Falkoping, Sweden native finished her strong showing this season with an ECAC-leading goals-against average at 1.31, save percentage at .949 and total saves at 545 in conference play. Frank, who started all but one contest for Quinnipiac, also led the ECAC in shutouts at five.

Frank backstopped the Bobcats throughout the first weekend of ECAC Tournament to the tune of a 2-1 record, making key stops in all three games to keep the Brown University Bears off the board.

“She’s been our backbone,” head coach Cass Turner said. “I’m glad she was back there to help us when we needed it.”

Quinnipiac’s other All-ECAC First Team selection, junior winger Kahlen Lamarche, was just as critical for the Bobcats’ success. Quinnipiac’s leading point scorer led the ECAC in conference goals with 20 and was second in the NCAA in overall scoring during the regular season.

Lamarche continued that scoring onslaught into the Bobcat’s ECAC Tournament run. The Sudbury, Ontario native scored seven goals in Quinnipiac’s three game ECAC Quarterfinal series against the Bears.

“It’s nice because you’re in a big game like this, and all of sudden Kahen Lamarche goes in and scores the first goal,” Turner said on Feb. 27. “She makes the difference.”

In the series-clinching third game of the weekend, Lamarche would further leave her mark on the program’s history, scoring her fourth hat trick of the season and breaking the Quinnipiac single season DI points record, set by Kelly Babstock ‘14.

The record-breaking 60th point was the game winner in the Bobcats’ 5-4 victory over the Bears and powered the Bobcats to the ECAC Semifinals for the first time since 2023.

“It’s a privilege to be here,” Lamarche said. “I love being here and breaking records is fun.”

As of March 3, Lamarche was also announced as an ECAC Forward of the Year Finalist.

Sophomore defenseman Makayla Watson rounds out the Bobcat awards, securing All-ECAC second team. Watson scored 20 points in conference play this season, including Quinnipiac’s first hat trick from a defenseman in 15 years. The Alberta, Canada native ended ECAC play with a +12 plus minus rating and 23 blocked shots. Watson was announced as an ECAC Defender of the Year Finalist on March 3.

Watson has been absent from the Bobcat lineup since their 3-0 win against the Dartmouth Big Green Feb. 7. The Bobcats have looked to other defenders, like sophomore Aynsley D’Ottavio and senior Zoe Uens, to fill Watson’s offensive production.

“They’re just difference makers, all of them,” Turner said. “Some of the absolute best in our league.”

These players will continue to drive the Bobcats push for an ECAC Championship in Lake Placid, N.Y. Quinnipiac returns to the ice Friday against the Princeton Tigers for the ECAC Tournament Semifinals. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.
