Re: This Week In Hockey East
Had to bring this up! Some really smart (and hard-working) girls in Hockey East
Congrats to all honorees!!
WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Hockey East is pleased to announce that 69 student-athletes have been named to the 2009-2010 WHEA All-Academic Team in its eighth season of play, which was announced on Monday afternoon. Each student-athlete achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better in each of the two academic periods during which she was actively competing.
The University of Vermont and the University of Maine set the standard in the league this year with 12 student-athletes apiece, while Northeastern registered 11 honorees to the All-Academic squad.
The league also boasted a record setting eight student-athletes that received “Distinguished Scholar” status. Those earning “Distinguished Scholar” status achieved a 3.0 or better in each semester over four varsity seasons. BC’s Shannon Webster (Littleton, Col.) and BU’s Jennifer Arms (Chapin, S.C.) achieved the honor, while a trio of Maine forwards earned the award, including Abby Barton (Woodstock, N.B.), Jenna Ouellette (Winnipeg, Man.) and Amy Stech (Duluth, Minn.). Northeastern’s Katy Applin (Palmer, Alaska) and Cassie Sperry (Southlake, Texas) were also recipients of the honor. Vermont forward Brittany Nelson (Shelburne, Vt.) round out the group of four-year acheivers.
For the first time in league history, four league student-athletes earned 4.0 GPA’s as the league’s Top Scholar-Athlete. Applin, Arms, New Hampshire defenseman Katie Brock (Marblehead, Mass.) and Vermont forward Chelsea Furlani (Colchester, Vt.) all earned 4.00 GPA’s in the academic year. Applin and Arms earned the WHEA Top Scholar-Athlete distinction for the second consecutive season.
