College Hockey America’s All-Academic Team Features 116 Student-Athletes in 2019-20

2019-20 was a banner year for academic success for College Hockey America student-athletes as the league has recognized a record 116 student-athletes on the 2019-20 All-Academic Team. Additionally, 13 players achieved 4.0 GPAs throughout the 2019-20 academic year, garnering Student-Athlete of the Year honors.

Each team had double-digit honorees on the All-Academic Team, with three teams placing 20 or more on the list. Robert Morris had 22 student-athletes qualify for the All-Academic Team, followed by 21 from Syracuse, and 20 from Mercyhurst. Not too far behind were the other three institutions of College Hockey America, with RIT having 19 honorees, Lindenwood with 18, and Penn State with 16.

Of the 13 Student-Athletes of the Year, there were seven repeat winners, led by four-time CHA Student-Athlete of the Year, Kirsten Martin of Lindenwood University. Kirsten wrapped-up her four-year career with another pair of 4.0 semesters. She is joined by teammates Sierra Burt, a three-time Student-Athlete of the Year, and Annika Asplundh, who earned her second Student-Athlete of the Year award.

Robert Morris paced all teams with four Student-Athletes of the Year, three-time winner Lexi Templeman, two-time winners Courtney Kollman and Emilie Harley, and freshman Joelle Fiala. Mercyhurst’s three Student-Athletes of the Year included a second award for Alexa Vasko, as well as Rachel Marmen and K.K. Thiessen. RIT had a pair of Student-Athletes of the Year in Stella Haberman and Taylor Liotta, and Syracuse’s Amanda Backebo wrapped up her career with a perfect 4.0 GPA in 2019-20.
