Three Penn State women’s hockey players received monthly AHA honors following a 9-1 record and a seven-game win streak throughout the month of October, the conference announced Tuesday.

Junior alternate captain Abby Stonehouse was named AHA Forward of the Month, freshman Morgan Stickney earned AHA Rookie of the Month, and Sophie Morrow was crowned as the AHA Defender of the Month.

Stonehouse scored an impressive seven goals throughout October and added six assists for a total of 13 points. Her production so far has led her to being Penn State’s second-overall scoring leader, trailing only Sofia Ismael.

Stonehouse’s production hit a massive high over the weekend in Rochester, New York, as the forward netted four goals, including a hat trick in one game against RIT. Her production in the series led her to being named the week’s AHA Forward of the Week as well.

Stickney was also crucial to Penn State’s success throughout October, as the netminder played to an impressive .926 save percentage and staggering 1.61 goals-against average, notching two shutouts along the way.

The freshman earned one AHA Rookie of the Week award and one AHA Goaltender of the Week award throughout October en route to her monthly honor.

Finally, Morrow was honored based on her performance on the blue line throughout October. The sophomore put up a remarkable 13 points including an AHA-leading 12 assists throughout the month.

She currently leads all AHA defensemen in total points, earning all of her tallies throughout the duration of October. Like Stonehouse and Stickney, Morrow was honored with an AHA weekly honor during October as well when she won Defender of the Week.

The No. 7 Nittany Lions will look to continue their success on November 13 and 14 against Mercyhurst in Erie, Pennsylvania. Game times are set for 6 p.m. on November 13 and 1 p.m. on November 14, both at Mercyhurst Ice Center.
