BOSTON— Four Huskies from the Northeastern women's ice hockey team were honored as New England Hockey Writers Association Division I All-Stars, as announced on Tuesday. Additionally, head coach Dave Flint repeated as the New England Hockey Writers Division I Coach of the Year and Alina Mueller was honored as the New England MVP.
 
Alina Mueller, Aerin Frankel, Skylar Fontaine and Chloe Aurard were honored on the All-Star squad. All four of the Huskies' honorees were also First-Team Hockey East All-Stars. Northeastern was the only team with four honorees on the 12-person squad.
 
The Hockey East Coach of the Year, Flint led the Huskies to a program record and NCAA-best 32 wins, it marked the first 30-win season in Northeastern history. With Flint at the helm, the Huskies captured their third-straight Hockey East title and returned the Beanpot to Huntington Avenue for the first time since 2013. This is Flint's third time winning this award, and the second year in a row that he has been honored as the New England Coach of the Year. 
 
Mueller is the second Husky to ever be honored as New England MVP, joining Kendall Coyne Schofield. Mueller's honor is just the latest award for the sophomore, after she was named a Patty Kazmaier Top-Three Finalist, Hockey East Player of the Year and CCM/AHCA First-Team All-American. The Winterthur, Switzerland native posted 66 points, the second-best mark in the country and the Huskies were a remarkable 23-0-0 when she scored a goal.
 
The Hockey East Goaltender of the Year, CCM/AHCA First-Team All-American and Patty Kazmaier Top-10 Finalist, Frankel continued to rewrite the record books on Huntington Avenue this season. Frankel set new single-season program records with a 1.07 goals against average, .958 save percentage, 10 shutouts and 27 wins. Additionally, the Briarcliff Manor, New York native led the NCAA with a .958 save percentage.
 
A CCM/AHCA Second-Team All-American, Fontaine posted the second-most points of any defenseman in the country with 42 points off 17 goals and 25 assists. Fontaine was the first Northeastern player to be honored as Hockey East's Best Defenseman. The blue-liner's 42 points mark a single-season record at Northeastern in the Hockey East era (2002).
 
A Hockey East First-Team All-Star, Aurard enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign. Aurard posted 49 points, the second-best mark in Hockey East behind only her linemate Mueller. The Villard-de-Lans, France native was named the Beanpot MVP and tied to lead the NCAA with two hat tricks.

Senior captain Paige Capistran was an Honorable Mention for the Joe Tomasello Unsung Hero Awards. Capistran finished her career with the Huskies, as the lone winner of the Hockey East Sportsmanship Award.
