Saugus, Mass. – Senior defensemen James Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) was named an ECAC Northeast All-Star as announced by the New England Writers Association.

Florentino was the only player from the Northeast-10 to be named an ECAC All-Star and is the first NE-10 player to receive the honor since the 2004-05 season when Southern New Hampshire’s Pat Doherty was honored.

The senior assistant captain is the first Skyhawk since Rob Pascale, during the 2002-03 season, to be named an All-Star. He is also just the sixth Stonehill player to earn the distinction over the last 20 years.

He finished his career as the school’s career leader in goals by a defensemen with 25 and is second in assists with 46. His 71 points are the second best in school history for a defenseman, trailing just Len Nolan (81 pts).
