BOSTON – The Northeastern women's hockey team celebrated its 2016-17 season on Thursday at its annual year-end banquet at Matthews Arena. 

The Huskies honored seniors Sarah Foss, Melissa Haganey, Hayley Masters, Heather Mottau, Paige Savage and Hayley Scamurra for their outstanding contributions to the program, and turned the page to next season by announcing the 2017-18 team captains.

As decided by the coaching staff, rising senior Shelby Herrington will wear the captain's "C" next season, while rising seniors Ainsley MacMillan, McKenna Brand and Christina Zalewski will wear the "A's" as assistant captains. 

Two awards were also presented at the banquet: the Kathryn Waldo Seventh Player Award and the Don MacLeod Award. Foss earned the Seventh Player honor for consistently going above and beyond the call of duty and putting the team first. Executive senior associate athletic director George Gardner was honored with the Don MacLeod Award in recognition of his support and commitment to the program. 

Members of the senior class each received a framed jersey to commemorate their time at Northeastern. The graduating class helped NU to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2016 and combined for over 350 points at Northeastern.
