Thirteen members of the Syracuse hockey team were named to the College Hockey America All-Academic Team, CHA Commissioner Robert DeGregorio announced.
Freshmen Erin Brand, Laurence Porlier and Elizabeth Scala, sophomores Melissa Piacentini and Nicole Renault, juniors Kaillie Goodnough and Julie Knerr and seniors Kallie Billadeau, Jenesica Drinkwater, Cara Johnson, Brittney Krebs and Margot Scharfe were honored by the league for their academic success in 2013-14.
The award is the fourth-straight for Billadeau, Johnson, Krebs and Scharfe. Knerr earned the honor for the third-straight time, while Goodnough was selected for the second year in a row.
Renault and Piacentini were previously honored for their on-ice success this year, being named to All-CHA First and Second Teams respectively.
To qualify for the CHA All-Academic Team, an individual must post a 3.0 grade-point average or higher in both semesters in which her team was competing.
SU’s 13 selections are second to only 2010-11 season when the Orange had 14 players honored.
