USA Hockey Release
Complete Festival Roster
Â
HAMILTON – Colgate's
Olivia Zafuto is one of 75 players invited to the 2018 USA Hockey Women's National Festival, which starts Monday at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, New York.Â
Â
The festival is an annual event that also is being used to select two 22-player select team rosters (one U-18 and one U-22) for a pair of series against Canada to be held simultaneously Aug. 16-19 in Calgary, Alberta.
Â
Zafuto, who is entering her senior season with the Raiders, earned 2018 All-NCAA Tournament honors last year after helping Colgate reach the national championship game. She scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Colgate's 3-1 NCAA Quarterfinal victory against Northeastern.
Â
Zafuto already has been a part of arguably the three greatest seasons in Colgate Women's Hockey history, helping the team to a combined 78-26-11 (.726) record capped by last season's ECAC Hockey regular season crown and the ensuing playoff run to the NCAA Women's Frozen Four.
Â
The complete Women's National Festival roster of 42 forwards, 26 defenders and seven goaltenders can be found
HERE. The event runs Aug. 6-13, with rosters for the U-18 and U-22 teams set for release Aug. 12.
