Watts Tabbed National Rookie of the Month Again

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College women's hockey freshman forward Daryl Watts repeated as American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) National Rookie of the Month, winning November's award. She was also the Hockey East Rookie of the Month in November after sweeping both AHCA and Hockey East Player and Rookie of the Month Awards in October.

For the second-straight month, Watts led all freshmen nationally in scoring. In November, the 18-year-old Toronto, Ontario, product also ranked third nationally in scoring among all players. She recorded 19 points in eight games, including 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.

Last month, Watts posted seven multiple-point games as No. 2 Boston College went 6-1-1. She had a pair of four-point games, both coming against ranked opponents: a one-goal, three-assist effort against No. 9 Providence on Nov. 3, and a four-assist game at No. 8 St. Lawrence on Nov. 11. 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.

Watts comes into the last weekend of play in first semester as the national leader in nine categories: points (44), goals (20), assists (24), points per game (2.59), goals per game (1.18), assists per game (1.41), power-play goals (7), power-play points (14) and plus/minus (+25)

So far this season, Watts has won three nationally monthly honors, three conference monthly awards and four league weekly recognitions. This weekend, she told the Boston Herald that she's still adjusting to the college game.
