CHESTNUT Hill, Mass. – Boston College defender Cayla Barnes earned American Hockey Coaches Association All-America honors on Friday, earning a spot on the second-team for the first all-american honors of her career.
Barnes, a Hockey East First Team All-Star selection this season, finished her third season at BC with 10 points on four goals and six assists while blocking a team-leading 36 shots. Barnes scored two game-winning goals for the Eagles and picked up two power play points while finishing with a plus-9 rating. The Eastvale, Calif.
