Player of the Week: Jessie Groszkowski of University of New Hampshire (Jr., M, Reistertown, Md./Franklin HS) earns this week's Player of the Week honors. Groszkowski recorded 14 points on 12 goals and two assists, including a career-best effort of 7-1-8 vs. Vermont, in three games last week. She also scored the game-winning goal against both the Catamounts and Northwestern. Her seven tallies vs. UVM was one short of the school record and she recorded her 100th career point on the last of her seven goals. With UNH trailing 6-4 against Northwestern, Groszkowski scored the final three goals of the game to propel UNH to a 7-6 victory. In addition to her impressive offensive numbers, Groszkowski also contributed eight ground balls and nine draw controls on the week.
Rookie of the Week: Boston University's Alyssa Trudel (Fr., M, Middlebury, Vt./Middlebury) earns her second Rookie of the Week honor this season. The freshman midfielder scored three goals in the Terriers’ 11-10 loss to Harvard, then added four goals and one assist against No. 15 Old Dominion on Saturday. Trudel also had two draw controls against the Crimson. On the season, Trudel leads all freshman and tied for second on the team in goals with 16 and is third in points with 19.
Defender of the Week: Nicole Moore of the University of New Hampshire (Sr., D, Wilton, Maine/Mt. Blue) is this week's Defender of the Week. Moore ignited UNH’s comeback victory against Northwestern (New Hampshire trailed 6-1 in the second half) with tenacious defense. She recorded three caused turnovers in the second half when NU was attempting to play a perimeter offense to preserve its lead and each of her caused turnovers resulted in a goal for UNH. Moore also recorded six ground balls in that game and 12 for the week, which was the most by any Wildcat player. She registered four ground balls, two caused turnovers and three draw controls vs. Brown.
