PROVIDENCE, RI – Junior Emma Leblanc (Darien, CT) was named ECSC MacConnell Division Skier of the Year for her first place finish in the overall ECSC MacConnell Division individual standings, marking the second straight season that a Brown skier has been named the Skier of the Year. In addition to Leblanc, five other Bears were named All-MacConnell Division, as Brown finished the regular season undefeated.

Skiing consistently all season, Leblanc finished the year with seven podium results, including one victory in the giant slalom. She earned 560 points throughout the season to claim the women's ECSC MacConnell Division crown, edging Smith's Lily Eriksen, who finished with 555 points. Sophomore Nika Mosenthal (Plymouth, NH) finished fourth overall with 520 points and three individual victories during the 2013 campaign.

Sophomore Amanda Engelhardt (Plymouth, NH) and junior Maria Mastanduo (Hanover, NH) finished in fifth and sixth respectively, while senior Catherine Stewart (Stratton, VT) was also inside the top-10, finishing in ninth place. Freshman Katie Liebowitz (Pound Ridge, NY) also earned All-Division honors, finishing tied for 15^th in the overall standings.
