• Chaisson Allen and Matt Janning both voted First-Team All-CAA; Allen included in the All-Defensive Team
• Allen finishes 2nd in CAA Player of the Year balloting (Hofstra’s Charles Jenkins took home the hardware)
• Nkem Ojoughboh finished just on the outside of All-Defensive Team voting
• Bill Coen was one of the top three, but William & Mary’s Tony Shaver was overwhelmingly picked as Coach of the Year.

For a full rundown, Mike Litos has all the vote totals here.

Basketball

As the Hockey East quarterfinals approach (they’re one week away from this Friday), the Huskies can mathematically finish anywhere between fourth and ninth in the standings. At extreme ends of the spectrum are home ice and missing the playoffs, and somewhere in the middle lies the Huskies’ most probable outcome.

At the very least, Northeastern needs either two points or a single UMass loss to be guaranteed a playoff spot. From there, the Huskies’ final seeding is as much determined by their own play as it is by the rest of the conference - the logjam from fourth to ninth has created many seeding scenarios.
