Women's basketball

• Mairead Hynes of Connecticut College was named the D3hoops.com Northeast Region Rookie of the Year, New England Women's Basketball Association Rookie of the Year and also honored as a fourth-team selection on the D3hoops.com All-Northeast Region team.

Hynes, from Mahopac, N.Y., finished her freshman season averaging 16.9 points and 10.4 rebounds, the only player in the New England Small College Athletic Conference to average double figures in both categories. She set the Conn single-season record and led the league with 132 made free throws. Conn (16-9) posted its highest win total since 2012.

"We're thrilled that D3hoops selected her as the Northeast Region rookie of the year and it's neat to see that she is the only freshman in the northeast to be named to one of the four all-region teams," Conn coach Brian Wilson said.

"We are excited that Mairead has been recognized by the NEWBA coaches as Rookie of the Year. I think this speaks to her impressive stats as many coaches did not have the opportunity to see her play in person."
