ROCHESTER, NY - The Utica University women's hockey team led the UCHC with 28 players named to the 2023-24 UCHC Women's All-Academic team, as announced by the league on Wednesday, June 26. 
 
The UCHC's All-Academic distinction is an opportunity to recognize student athletes at member institutions not only for the work they put in to be part of a collegiate hockey program, but the work they do inside the classroom to prepare for their future careers.
 
For All-Academic consideration, member schools submit the names of players who meet the conference's eligibility criteria. To be eligible, a player must have completed at least one academic year at their current institution, while holding a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 for all terms of the stipulated 2023-24 academic year.
 
Three Utica student-athletes, Holly Silva (Boston, MA/Worcester Academy), Erica Sloan (Potsdam, NY/St. Lawrence Steel) and Carolyn Whitney (Raleigh, NC/Millbrook School), became five-time recipients of the All-Academic team award.
