Martins, McCann Nab First-Team All-America Accolades

ST. PAUL, Minn.--Although Harvard captain Sean McCann didn't win the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, he was one of two Crimson players named to 1993-94 All American First Team from the East.

Junior Steve Martins was the other first-teamer, while senior Derek Maguire won second-team honors.

McCann's toughness on defense was noted before the season began, but he blossomed into an offensive force as well this year.

He easily eclipsed Dick Greeley's 46-year-old mark for goals by a Harvard defenseman by six goals, as McCann lit the lamp 22 times this year. McCann lit the lamp 22 times this year. McCann was catalyst on the power play where he scored 17 of those goals, many on pinpoint accuracy one-timers.

McCann and Clarkson's Brian Mueller were the two defensemen named, while UMass-Lowell goalie Dwayne Roloson earned first-team honors in net.

Martins, the ECAC Most Valuable Player this season, joined Clarkson's Craig Conroy and Boston University's Mike Pomichter as the three firstteam forwards.

The talent of Martins was a well-kept secret in Cambridge the past two season, most because he lad suffered through various injuries those years.

However, good health and the enormous skill level of Martins propelled him into one of the most exciting players at the college level throughout the 1993-94 campaign.

In addition to leading the Crimson with 60 points (25 goals and 35 assists), Martins was the top scorer in the ECAC and also a favorite target of opposing goons.

Martins also drew numerous power plays with his hard effort, as it often took more than one opposing player to take him down.

Maguire was the Crimson's fifthleading scorer with six goals and 32 assists this season.

An awesome presence at six-feet and 210 pounds, Maguire used his size to an enormous advantage as he threw heavy checks against opposing forwards to knock them off the puck.

Maguire also was a key to the Harvard power play, as many of his canon shots from the point either went into the net or were rebounded home past dazed goaltenders.
