Penn State women's hockey coach Josh Brandwene has added a pair of assistant coaches - one no surprise and the second with NCAA experience.
Long-time Icers assistant coach and Lady Icers head coach Mo Stroemel joins Norwood, PA native and former Boston University forward Gina Kearns on Brandwene's staff.
Mo coached the Lady Icers for the past four seasons, taking the team from a handful of players to a National Tournament team, finishing in fifth place at the 2009-10 tournament.
This past season, Mo was the head coach of the first-ever USA women's team at the World University Games in Turkey.
Gina Kearns comes to Penn State after serving for two seasons as an assistant coach of the Neumann University Knights. Kearns played in every game in her four seasons with the Terriers.
Gina is the career leading scorer for the fledgling BU women's program and the school's only three-year captain - EVER!
Oh, in addition leading the Terriers, Gina was a senior captain of the boy's team at Interboro High School, scoring 81 goals and 40 assists in 51 games.
The full press release is here, with Josh Brandwene's thoughts on his new assistants:

"I have known Mo for 15 years as a colleague and friend, and I am grateful to have him on board," said Brandwene. "He has been a consistently positive influence on Penn State Hockey for almost two decades, and his passion for and commitment to Penn State Hockey will be instrumental in our success."
"I am incredibly excited to welcome Gina to the Penn State Hockey family. Gina's experience as a player in the first four years of a brand new college program, her outstanding leadership ability and coaching experience make her a terrific addition. She will be a fantastic role model for the women in our program."
