What makes Rensselaer so special?

From the coaching staff:
"Patches is a leader in everything she does. A member of our leadership group since her sophomore year, she wore the 'C' for us because of her unquestioned competitiveness. Always willing to speak up in the locker room and on the ice, Sabrina was like having another coach on our staff. She is one of the smartest players I have coached and was always in the right place on the ice. Her teammates and staff respected her for her talent and hockey sense, but loved her because of her toughness and competitiveness. Fighting back from two major surgeries during her career was nothing short of inspirational. Not many athletes have faced as much adversity as Sabrina in their college careers and competed at such a high level. I will miss walking into our locker room and hearing her voice rallying our team and pushing us to be better. A true competitor in every sense of the word, Patches has left a legacy to be proud of." - March 2020

She is a great leader on and off the ice and her work ethic is inspiring." - April 2020

"One thing I learned about Sabrina this year is that she is a natural leader. She motivates others to give their all and inspires us to be the best we can be. She helped me feel welcome and I knew that I could always turn to her not only as a captain, but as a friend." - April 2020
