Lawrence Wins 1st Team All American Honors & ACHA-Regional Player of the Year

Husky Hockey’s sophomore assistant captain Brett Lawrence (Mill Creek, WA) is named to the 1st Team All American from the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA). Lawrence also was named Regional Player of the Year and to the 1st Team All-Region in the ACHA-West.

All American honors are a great finale to a brilliant season for Lawrence. Already named to the 1st Team All PAC-8, he led the Huskies to a 27-1 record, with 76 points and 2.92 goals per game average. Leading the nation in stats, Lawrence’s goal total and points are the highest in a single season for a Husky.

More ACHA-West regional awards were presented to the ice hockey team at the University of Washington.

Head Coach Cindy Dayley (Seattle, WA) received Regional Coach of the Year honors in the West for leading the Huskies to a 27-1 season, with two consecutive Athletic Awards I-5 Cup Championships. Dayley caps off the 2002 season with a 4-year career win-loss record of 72-19.

Senior goalie Scott Southard (Selah, WA) was placed on the 1st Team All-Region in the West, after receiving 1st Team All PAC-8 honors in February. Southard finished the year leading the nation with 2.11 GAA and 92.5% Save Average in 25 games.
