WINTHROP, Mass. (August 27, 2020) – The Franklin Pierce University women’s ice hockey team has had 21 student-athletes named to the New England Women’s Hockey Association All-Academic Team for the 2019-20 season, as announced earlier this week by the NEWHA.

The Ravens’ selections were led by then-sophomore forward Bridget Fagan (Millis, Mass.), who was one of seven NEWHA student-athletes to post a perfect, 4.0 grade-point average during the last academic year.
