Top Five Flashback: Women's Ice Hockey #4

NEWPORT, R.I. - Salve Regina University athletics resumes its summer series with a daily flashback to the top five moments of 2016-17 for each of its 19 varsity sports. Beginning with Memorial Day (Monday, May 29, 2017) and finishing with the final day of August, 95 moments (19 x 5) will be shared to relive the most exciting happenings of the most recent Seahawk season.

Five of the six Salve Regina women's ice hockey victories in 2016-17 came in New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) action and the Seahawks qualified for postseason play with their strong finish. Amanda Cronin (Medford, Mass.) and Taylor Chisholm (Discovery Bay, Calif.) both scored two goals apiece in a 5-2 win over New England College to earn the right to face defending conference champion UMass Boston in the first round.
