Pair honored for performances last week
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Junior goalkeeper Thatcher Demko (men's hockey) and junior forward McKenzie Meehan (women's soccer) have been named Eagles of the Week.
Demko was named Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Eagles get off to their best defensive start in program history. He has not let a puck cross Boston College's goal line in the last 196:58 of competition and is now the 21st goaltender in NCAA hockey history to have shutout three consecutive opponents. Demko is chasing Scott Clemmensen's record set during the 1997-98 season of keeping opponents scoreless for 254:23.
Meehan had two game-winning goals to lead the Eagles to a pair of ACC wins. She had the game-winner - a penalty kick – in double overtime in the 103rd minute against Wake Forest on Thursday in a 2-1 win. Then on Sunday afternoon, Meehan recorded two goals and two assists in a 5-4 comeback victory over Miami. Meehan scored in the 64th minute to cut the deficit to one. She then set up the game-tying goal in the 86th minute and scored the game-winner two minutes into overtime off a corner kick.
Men's hockey (4-1) hosts Denver Friday night at 7 p.m. Women's soccer (11-6-1, 5-3-1 ACC) travels to Florida State on Sunday for its regular-season finale.
