CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College women's hockey freshman forward Daryl Watts repeated as Hockey East Rookie of the Month, winning November's award after sweeping Hockey East – and national – player and rookie of the month awards in October.

The 18-year-old Toronto, Ontario, product was third nationally in scoring among all players in November and was the nation's leading rookie scorer. She posted 19 points from seven goals and a nation-high 12 assists. Her 1.50 assists per game led the nation, while she was tied for third in points per game (2.38) among all players.

She also had a three-point day – two goals and one assist – against Northeastern to close the month on Nov. 28.

Additionally, her totals included two multiple-goal games and three multiple-assist outings.
