GLOUCESTER, Mass. - Middlebury senior defender Randi Dumont (Greene, Maine), Amherst junior goaltender Krystyn Elek (Summerville, S.C.), and Hamilton sophomore Stephanie Miguel (Maple, Ontario) came away with American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) All-America Honors announced Thursday. Dumont was named to the First Team East, while Elek and Miguel garnered Second Team East honors.

Dumont, an All-NESCAC First Team selection this season, has contributed two goals and 14 assists to the Panthers’ offense heading into Friday night's NCAA semifinal showdown with Amherst at Middlebury. The contest is a rematch of the 2009 NESCAC Women's Ice Hockey Championship tilt, a game the Panthers won 4-3 in overtime.

Elek, the 2009 NESCAC Co-Player of the Year and an All-Conference First Team honoree, leads the league and is among the top netminders in the nation statistically this season. The 2006 NESCAC Rookie of the Year owns a 14-3-0 record with four shutouts along with a 1.27 goals against average and a .949 save percentage. Elek’s figures were even more impressive against conference opponents, as her .971 save percentage this season was the highest ever in league play while her 0.63 goals against average was second-lowest all-time. Through three seasons, Elek, who claimed All-America accolades for the third year in a row, is 42-13-6 with a 1.43 goals against average, a .942 save percentage, and 14 shutouts.

Miguel had a breakout sophomore campaign, more than doubling the 15 points she accumulated as a rookie last season with a team-leading 21 goals and 16 assists for 37 points through all 25 of the Continentals’ outings. Of her 21 tallies, seven came on the power-play, one while Hamilton was shorthanded, and three served as the game-winning goal. Miguel posted 20 points on 11 goals and nine assists during conference competition, as she finished the NESCAC slate in a three-way tie for second among all skaters. Miguel collected a career-high five points during a Jan. 25 win at Wesleyan, playing a part in all five Hamilton goals with three of her own and assists on the two others. In addition to being named Co-Player of the Year, Miguel also found a spot on the All-Conference First Team.
