History

Wayne State finished in second place in the 2005–06 CHA regular season standings with a record of 6–4–2. Mercyhurst player Valerie Chouinard tied for the CHA league scoring title with a pair of Wayne State rookies: Melissa Boal and Sam Poyton. Each had 19 points in 12 CHA contests. All three newcomers were voted to the All-CHA First Team. In addition, Jessica Snelgrove was selected CHA Student-Athlete of the Year.

In 2006–07, Wayne State lost the CHA Tournament finals by a 4–1 score to the Mercyhurst Lakers. The following season, Wayne State tied Mercyhurst for the regular-season title with a 9–2–1 conference mark.[4]

The Warriors were given the No. 1 seed because their record against Mercyhurst was 2–1–1. The Lakers would play the Warriors in the CHA Trounament Final for the second consecutive year. The Lakers prevailed in overtime by a 2–1 score.

During the 2007–08 season, Wayne State had the top four scorers in the nation in terms of points per game.[4] Melissa Boal was the leader with 2.16 points per game. She would also be a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award. The Warriors Sam Poyton (1.94 points per game) and Lindsay DiPietro (1.88 points per game) ranked third and fourth. During the 2007–08 season, Sam Poyton of Wayne State set an NCAA record (since tied) for most game winning goals in one season with 13.[5] DiPietro was first in the NCAA with 48 assists. The Warriors were ranked 10th in the nation at the end of the 2007–08 season.[4]

  • Oct 3, 2009: Wayne State skated to only its second scoreless tie in 10 years.[6] Delayne Brian earned her second career shutout and had 37 saves.
  • January 30, 2010: Wayne State University's women's hockey program officially celebrates its 10th anniversary on January 30–31. At the City Sports Center, the 2009–10 Warriors (8–11–3, 4–4–0 CHA) will host the Syracuse Orange (13–12–1, 4–4–0 CHA) in a College Hockey America series.[7]

In October 2010, DeLayne Brian was the starting goalie in all eight of the Warriors games. Among the highlights, she accumulated 61 saves on Oct. 1–2 against Bemidji State. On top of her 61 saves, she held the Beavers to 1-for-13 on the power play. On Oct. 8, she registered her fifth career shutout, this time against St. Cloud State. Against nationally ranked Boston University, she had a career-high 75 saves in the two game series. Against the Colgate Raiders, she would earn another shutout as she notched 31 saves (on Oct. 22). She led all CHA netminders with a .932 save percentage and ranked third in the nation during October with 272 saves.[8]

On May 27, 2011, Wayne State announced that it had discontinued the sponsorship of women's ice hockey, citing the state of Michigan's reductions in state appropriations to higher education.[9] The university had previously discontinued its men's hockey program in 2008.[10]
