Maine junior Jen Johnstone (Dallas, Pa./Lake-Lehman) and Northeastern forward Liane Dixon (Vineyard Haven, Mass./Martha's Vineyard Regional) were named Player and Rookie of the Week by America East for the week ending October 14.
Johnston logged three goals and two assists this week to lead Maine to three victories. Johnstone had the game-winning goal in Maine's 2-0 win over Rhode Island last Monday afternoon, and assisted on the second Black Bear goal. In a match-up against Quinnipiac, Johnstone connected on her penalty stroke attempt in an overtime PS shoot-out in a 3-2 win. Johnstone currently has a four-game scoring streak and leads Maine with nine goals and four assists for 22 points.
Dixon had an impressive week for the Huskies scoring a goal in all three games. She had Northeastern's lone goal in a 2-1 OT defeat against Harvard and then had a goal and an assist in Northeastern's 3-1 win over Drexel. Finally, Dixon scored the game's only goal in NU's 1-0 victory over Hofstra Sunday.
