HAMILTON – Hannah Murphy and Sara Stewart have been named as the Colgate Women's Ice Hockey 2024-25 captains, with Gwen Eichfeld, Kristýna Kaltounková, and Emma Pais serving as alternates, head coach Stefan Decosse announced this week.

Murphy, a senior goaltender, boasts a .935 career save percentage and has been named All-ECAC the past two seasons. Stewart, a junior forward, has 20 assists across her career at Colgate, and was named to the ECAC All-Tournament team in 2023.

Kaltounkova, a fifth year forward, has contributed an astounding 85 goals and 100 assists across 133 career games. She enters the season third in the country in active career scoring.

The reigning ECAC Rookie of the Year Emma Pais gained 18 goals and 16 assists in her first-year at Colgate, good for second-most from a first-year skater in the entire NCAA. Senior defender Eichfeld has helped the team with 11 career points from the blueline.

All five Raiders are donning letters for the first time in their respective careers. They lead a team returning 15 letterwinners from last season, also adding five first-years and two transfers to the locker room.

Colgate kicks off the season with a road trip to Mercyhurst to take on the Lakers in Erie, Pa. at 6 p.m. on Friday night.
