...strong performances from the keys to its team, sophomore Mark Cavosie (12, 16) and junior Matt Murley (9, 29). Of the once mighty Engineer offense these two are the only stars left. RPI lost five of its seven leading scorers, including Brad Tapper (31, 20) who jumped to the NHL...
Clarkson should be fine on defense led by First Team All-ECAC Kent Huskins (2, 14), but will have to search the ranks to find goal scorers.

Last week a St. Louis jury ordered McFarlane to pay $24.5 million to one TONY TWIST, 32, a former NHL enforcer for the St. Louis Blues, who sued McFarlane for using his name without permission. McFarlane, a sports nut who paid $2.7 million for Mark McGwire's record-breaking 1998 home-run ball, waffled in his testimony about the exact provenance of the Twistelli name, but in letters to fans he admitted...
