Team USA’s women’s hockey team already had plenty of maroon and gold when the initial roster was announced in May. Current students Kali Flanagan ‘19 and Megan Keller ‘19 joined alumnae Emily Pfalzer ‘15 and Alex Carpenter ‘16 on the roster, which was expected to shrink, not grow, between then and the final cuts leading up to the PyeongChang Olympics.
A month ago, a fifth Eagle, freshman Cayla Barnes, was added in a surprise roster shakeup.
But apparently, Team USA didn’t feel like there were quite enough Eagles on the national team roster trying to make it to PyeongChang.
