Three offensive weapons headline the Second Team as the trio combined for 38 goals and each helped their team to home ice advantage in opening round play or quarterfinals in the league playoffs.
Colgate's Elyssa Biederman was a offensive machine, with eight goals and 17 assists (T-1 in ECAC) for an 25 point (4th in ECAC) junior season. Averaging over a point per game in league play and finishing top five in league points, Biederman helped secure the Raiders a top four seed entering the playoffs.
Abby Hustler joins the All-ECAC Second Team for the second consecutive season by collecting 21 points (T-8 in ECAC) in 22 league games for St. Lawrence. The senior came in clutch when the Saints needed her most, scoring four game winning goals, tied for most in the league.
Princeton junior Sarah Paul was the most prolific offensive player in the league this season, leading all ECAC players with 19 goals (five more than second place). The West Kelowna, B.C. native had five multi-goal games this season, setting the Tigers up for its best conference record since 2019-20.
On the defensive front, two standouts from Cornell and Quinnipiac, respectively. Ashley Messier represents the Big Red after posting nine assists and 13 points. Messier capped the season off with a +18 rating (T-3 in ECAC).
Across the blue line is Quinnipiac veteran Kendall Cooper as she recorded four goals and 12 assists for the Bobcats in league play. The fifth-year defender ended her final season in the navy and gold with a +12 rating.
In net is Colgate's Hannah Murphy, who delivered a standout performance in her senior season, securing an 16-4-0 record when in net for the Raiders. Murphy's outstanding 1.70 goals-against average (T-4 in ECAC) and a ..947 save percentage (1st in ECAC) exemplify elite goaltending across the league and Division I hockey. In her 20 league games played, she recorded 3 shutouts and made 604 saves.
