WAKEFIELD, Mass. – For the fourth time this season, freshman Alina Mueller of the Northeastern women's hockey team was named the Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Month in Hockey East, as the league announced its February honor roll on Thursday.

In eight February games, Mueller led all WHEA rookies in scoring with five goals, eight assists and 13 points. Mueller recorded points in seven of eight February games, including three multi-point efforts.

The Winterthur, Switzerland native capped the month with her first collegiate four-point game on Feb. 23 at Merrimack. Mueller opened the scoring, assisted on goals by Kasidy Anderson and Tori Sullivan, and then potted the game-tying goal in the final five minutes of the third period in a 4-4 tie.

The Patty Kazmaier top-10 finalist leads all Hockey East rookies in goals (19), assists (29), points (48), power-play points (14), game-winning goals (5), plus/minus (+29), shots on goal (118) and faceoff wins (326) this season.

Mueller's 48 points make her Northeastern's highest-scoring rookie since the program joined Hockey East in 2002, as well as the third-highest scoring freshman in program history. Only Vicky Sunohara (78 points in 1988-89) and Stephanie Acres (49 points in 1996-97) have scored more points in their freshman seasons than Mueller.

Mueller has now earned 10 total Hockey East awards this season: four Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Month honors (October, November, January, February), four Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week accolades, and two Hockey East Player of the Week nods.

The No. 3 Huskies will open postseason play Friday (5 p.m.) against Vermont in a best-of-three WHEA quarterfinal series at Matthews Arena.
