EAST LANSING, Mich. - Senior Heather Howie has been named to the 2015 Longstreth/ NFHCA Division I All-West Region Team. The Second Team All-West honor is the first of Howie's career.
"This is a great honor for Heather, and this season she proved to be one of the best players in the conference and West Region," said head coach Helen Knull. "I am happy that the committee recognized her for her relentless play in the midfield."

The 2015 Longstreth / NFHCA Division I Regional Players of the Year will be announced on Wednesday, December 2nd. The 2015 Longstreth / NFHCA Division I All-American Teams will be announced on Monday, December 7th.
