Mariah Napolitano '09 Holy CrossMariah came to the Academy her upper year, but her hockey career at Exeter was simply too short. Unfortunately during her second month on campus, she tore her ACL playing soccer. Mariah had reconstructive surgery, and was sidelined for the hockey season. She was sorely missed on the ice, but served as a third assistant coach and helped manage the website with updating stats and writing the game summaries. Mariah definitely made up for lost time her senior year. She was solid on defense and was excellent at winning 50/50 pucks in the corner. She was an excellent leader on the ice and loved to contribute to the offense by rushing the puck.
