College Notebook: Another accolade for Burt

To say that it’s already been a season to remember for Lynn’s Katie Burt might be an understatement as she already has a checklist of accomplishments that most players can only dream of.
Earn the starting goaltender spot at Boston College? Check.
Lead the Eagles to the top of the national rankings? Check.
Backstop Team USA?s under-18 women?s squad to a world championship? Check.
On Monday, Burt was named Hockey East’s Rookie of the Week after backstopping BC to wins over Northeastern and UConn. It’s the fourth weekly honor that Burt has garnered from the league in her freshman season.
Burt began the week by helping BC reach its 15thBeanpot championship game as she shut down the Huskies in a 3-1 win. Later in the week, Burt turned in her seventh shutout of the season when the Eagles defeated UConn, 6-0.
The seven shutouts are second on the Eagles? single-season list behind the 10 posted by Molly Schaus in 2008. Burt?s 0.99 goals against average is tops in the nation while her .947 save percentage is tied for second nationally with Bemidji State’s Brittni Mowat behind North Dakota’s Shelby Amsley-Benzie (.950).
BC is scheduled to play Tuesday as it looks for the Beanpot title against No. 4-ranked Harvard.
Carpenter flying for Eagles
One of Burt’s teammates, who also has local ties, is also having a season to remember.
Alex Carpenter, daughter of Stanley Cup winner and St. John’s prep star Bob Carpenter, leads the nation with 62 points in only 27 games this season.
Carpenter, who has led the Eagles to a pair of Frozen Fours during her time at the Heights, recorded a point in every game until BC’s win over UConn on Friday night when she was held scoreless.
Carpenter has racked up 81 goals and 172 points in less than three full seasons at BC. She took last year off to play for Team USA, captained by Danvers’ Meghan Duggan, which won the silver medal at the Winter Olympics.

Butler, a Danvers native, has scored eight goals and 12 points in 20 games. Iannetti has five goals and 11 points in 20 games.

Tatiana Doucette, who left St. Mary’s last year after winning a state title in 2013, has recorded three points in 20 games for the Southern Maine women?s team.
Over at Umass-Boston, Angela Dandreo and Moe Bradley have been significant contributors to the UMass Boston women?s team. Dandreo has scored three goals and five points while Bradley is 3-5-3 in goal with a 2.83 goals against average.

A trio of local players have made solid contributions to the Vikings? success.
Peabody’s Andrew Bucci has turned in four goals and 10 points in 20 games this season. Bucci was part of a Peabody High team that played for a North title in 2010.
Another Peabody native, Alex Minter, also has recorded four goals in 20 games. Minter, who won a state title at Malden Catholic before transferring to Governor’s Academy, is a senior.
