HANOVER, N.H. -
Senior co-captain Sarah Parsons (Dover, Mass.) is one of 78 student-athletes selected in a preliminary pool of participants for the 2010 NCAA Frozen Four Skills Challenge and needs your help to become a finalist.

She was chosen earlier this week and will need help from the fans to make the final roster of 32 that will be at the men's NCAA Frozen Four at Ford Field in Detroit. Fan voting has already begun and will conclude at noon Eastern time, Monday, February 15. While the fan voting will aid in the selection process, the ultimate decisions will be made by the selection committee by the end of February. Each fan can only submit one vote during the next couple of weeks.

Parsons currently leads the Big Green in all offensive categories with 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points. She is second in scoring in ECAC Hockey and is in the top six in both goals and assists. She now has 146 points in 115 total games with 61 goals and 85 assists. Parsons is currently tied with Sarah Howald '96 for ninth all time in points. She is five assists away from Carly Haggard '03 for seventh all time. With four more points she will become the eighth player to reach 150 points in a Big Green uniform.

The event will take place between the national semifinals and championship game during the Frozen Four weekend. It will be held April 9 and will highlight the "Friday Night at the Frozen Four". The night will also include the presentation of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, the Hockey Humanitarian Award and the announcement of the American Hockey Coaches Association All-American teams.
