Rebecca Russo (born April 22, 1994) is an American-born women's ice hockey player.[1][2] Having won a national U19 championship at Shattuck St. Mary's, Russo played her NCAA hockey with the BU Terriers. On November 3, 2015, Russo set the Boston University Terriers women's ice hockey record for most assists in one game, with five against Yale.[3]
