HANOVER, N.H. – Interim head coach
Morgan Illikainen has selected senior
Jennifer Costa and junior
Gabby Billing as captains for the 2020-21 season.
Costa, who hails from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, has missed just two games throughout her three years at Dartmouth. As a junior last season, she had career highs in all three categories (4-3-7). In 2018-19, she scored the game winner (and her first collegiate goal) in the 3-2 win over Quinnipiac with just a minute to go in overtime.
Billing wrapped up her sophomore season with a career-high 15 points (6-9-15), leading the team in assists. She had four two-point games and scored two power-play tallies. The Corcoran, Minnesota, native was named the team's Offensive MVP last season and the Rookie of the Year in 2018-19.
This is the first time since the 2015-16 season that more than one player will wear the C on her sweater.
