GENEVA, N.Y. - Senior Thalia Steenssens and junior Payton Anderson have been named to the NFHCA Division I Northeast All-Region Second Team, as announced on Wednesday.
Steenssens and Anderson were standouts all season long for the Terriers, leading to All-Patriot League First Team honors after helping the Terriers earn eight wins and reach the conference semifinals.
Both Anderson and Steenssens and repeat all-region honorees as Anderson was a first-team selection in 2022 while Steenssens was a second-team pick.
