WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Hockey East is proud to announce a league-record 126 student-athletes have been named to the league's 2015-16 All-Academic Team. Each student-athlete achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or better in each of the two academic periods during which she was actively competing.
Six players earned the prestigious honor of being named Hockey East's Top Scholar-Athlete, compiling perfect 4.0 GPA for the season. Those skaters include UConn goaltender Annie Belanger (Sherbrooke, Que.), Merrimack defensemen Dominique Kremer (West Fargo, Minn.), Paige Sorensen (Plymouth, Minn.), and forward Madison Morey (Fairbanks, Alaska), Northeastern forward Kendall Coyne (Palos Heights, Ill.) and Vermont's Kourtney Menches (Greer, South Carolina).
