Rossi totaled 14 goals and 20 assists for a team-leading 34 points in the regular season.
DURHAM, N.H. — University of New Hampshire freshman forward Nina Rossi (Pittsgrove, N.J.) was named to the Hockey East Pro Ambitions All-Rookie Team on Wednesday (Feb. 25).
Rossi was a key piece of the Wildcats' offense during the 2025-26 regular season, notching 14 goals alongside a team-leading 20 assists, pacing New Hampshire with 34 points while averaging a point per game. Across the conference, Rossi's 34 points were tied for fourth-most across the league, while her 14 goals were tied for sixth-most and her 20 assists were tied for fifth-most.
With her 34-point season, Rossi became the first Wildcat to register a 30+ point season since Jonna Curtis (21g, 21a; 42 points) in the 2016-17 season. Additionally, Rossi's 34-point campaign marks the highest point total by a New Hampshire freshman since the 2007-08 season, when Jenn Wakefield finished with 46 points (27g, 19a).
NEXT UP • AWAY VS. HOLY CROSS, SATURDAY, FEB. 28, 2 P.M.
The #5 seeded Wildcats visit #4 Holy Cross (18-12-3, 10-11-3 HEA) on Saturday, Feb. 28, as New Hampshire takes on the Crusaders in the Hockey East Quarterfinals with a 2pm puck drop at the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass.
