EASTON, Mass. (June 13, 2025) – The New England Women's Hockey Alliance (NEWHA) honored 166 student-athletes from all eight member institutions on Friday with selection to the 2024-25 All-Academic Team. The Stonehill College women's ice hockey program set a new standard in its third season, placing a program-record 21 student-athletes on the All-Academic Team—surpassing its previous best of 18 honorees.

In addition to the team's academic milestone, three Skyhawks received NEWHA Student-Athlete of the Year honors for achieving a perfect 4.0 grade-point average during the 2024-25 academic year.

To be eligible for the NEWHA All-Academic Team, student-athletes must have achieved at least a 3.0 grade-point average in both the first and second semester. The Student-Athlete of the Year designation is awarded to the student-athlete(s) who have maintained the highest grade-point average in the league.
