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.

Senior defenseman and team captain Amanda Cronin (Medfield, Mass.) of the Salve Regina University women's ice hockey team has been named a second-team all-conference defenseman for the New England Hockey Conference (NEHC).

Cronin posted a career-high and team-leading 15 goals this season, leading the NEHC in goals by a defenseman. She also handed out nine assists to rank third in the NEHC for overall point scoring by a defenseman.
