DULUTH, Minn. – The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) released its 2018-19 All-Academic selections on Thursday, Feb. 21 and 10 members of the Adrian College women's hockey team were named to the team this year, the most of any women's team.

Daversa totaled eight points and Miller had seven in the regular season while the defenseman Shepherd notched four points in 24 games.
