The 6-2 midfielder also tied for 14th with five goals to finish his sophomore campaign with 12 points.
 
Haney put forth a career-best campaign this season, more than tripling his points total from his rookie season. The 5-11 forward led the United East with five game-winning goals, which is good for 18th in Division III, while ranking second with 49 shots. He was also third with 25 points while being fourth with 10 goals and 23 shots on goal. A two-time United East Offensive Player of the Week, Haney tied for fifth as well with five assists.
