NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- First year defender Molly Boyle of the Yale women's ice hockey team was named to the All-USCHO First Team, as announced by the organization on Friday. Boyle was the only first year player and the only ECAC Hockey player selected to the First Team, which features the best players in all of women's collegiate hockey.

Boyle had a remarkable debut season for the Bulldogs as a two-way defender. She finished her rookie campaign with 13 goals and 23 assists, leading the conference in assists. Her 36-point total is the most ever by a Yale defender. She was a First Team All-ECAC Hockey selection, the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, and a First Team All-Ivy honoree.
