COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jincy Dunne has been named to the Preseason All-WCHA Team, Western Collegiate Hockey Association officials announced on Tuesday.
The redshirt-junior earned All-WCHA First Team honors last season as she tallied 26 points, including 24 assists, tied for second place in the conference.
Dunne earned numerous honors last season, including American Hockey Coaches Association All-America and All-USCHO distinction.
“Jincy is deserving of this honor and it’s no surprise to me that she’s on the team,” head coach Nadine Muzerall said. ”She has the capability to be the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year and her improvements on the ice can’t be ignored. Jincy puts in the time away from the rink that most people don’t see, and she’s a phenomenal leader for us as a captain this year. She had a great season last year and that’s carried over to her activities with USA Hockey over the summer. Jincy is one of the best players in the country, and we’re fortunate to have her in the scarlet and gray.”
Emma Maltais received votes for the Preseason All-WCHA Team.
The Buckeyes were selected to finish third in the conference behind Wisconsin and Minnesota.
