Maggie DiMasi hails from Burlington, Vt. and will bring an offensive spark to a defensive corps that lost Kasey Cedorchuk, Katy Applin and Ginny Berg to graduation from last season.

The 5'4 defenseman comes to Huntington Ave. after stints with several teams. Most recently, DiMasi captained the Rice Knights, notching 21 goals and 17 assists for the prep school team. Before that, she played one year with Northwood Prep, leading the team with 31 points (21 goals, 10 assists). DiMasi also attended Lawrence Academy of the ISL, earning an ISL honorable mention thanks to her 28 goals and 9 assists.

Before her time at the prep school level, DiMasi starred for Burlington High School, compiling 89 points (62-27-89) over two seasons. She was named “Miss Hockey” as the Vermont Player of the Year as a sophomore, and twice made the Vermont All-Star team. DiMasi holds Burlington's record for most points and goals in a season.

DiMasi also enjoyed success on a national stage with the Connecticut Polar Bears. She played three seasons with the club and helped lead the Polar Bears to second place finish in 2007 and 2008 at the USA Under-16 National Championships. DiMasi registered 46 goals and 36 assists in her three seasons with Connecticut.

"Maggie is an athletic player with a dynamic skating ability," assistant coach Linda Lundrigan said. "She's not afraid to step up into the play offensively. We are excited to see her develop at the collegiate level and we anticipate she will be an impact player for us."

DiMasi kept a busy athletic schedule besides her hockey commitments, also playing four years of varsity soccer as a midfielder/defenseman and three years of varsity lacrosse as a center. She will enter the class of 2015.
