Northeastern goalie Diana Nelson (Old Bridge, N.J./Old Bridge) has been named America East Player of the Week, while Maine's Kirsten Costa (Harwich, Mass./Harwich) takes home Rookie of the Week honors.
In a showdown of America East unbeatens, Diana was the difference for NU, stopping five New Hampshire shots for her fourth shutout in a row to help the Huskies win the conference regular-season title for the third straight year.
Costa scored her first goal of the season in the Black Bears 7-0 win over Albany. She was the only non-starter to score a goal in the game.
