WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Boston College forward Kelly Browne has been named the Hockey East Player of the Week and goaltender Maddy McArthur has been tabbed the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week, as announced Monday by the league.
Â
Browne put up four points on three goals and one assist on the two-win weekend for the Eagles to tie for the league lead in points and the national lead in goals. The junior captain had a two-goal performance on Friday night, scoring a short-handed goal and a game-winning goal in a 5-3 win at UConn. Browne then followed that up with a goal and a game-winning assist in Saturday's 3-1 home win over the Huskies. The Burlington, Mass. native finished the weekend with 10 shots on goal, 22 face-off wins and two blocked shots and brought her career total of multi-point games to 17. Browne's two-goal outing – which included the lone short-handed tally in the nation this week – marked the third multi-goal game of her career. Browne now leads Hockey East and is second in the nation in scoring on the year with 10 points on four goals and six assists.
Â
McArthur finished the Eagles' two-win weekend with a league-leading 71 saves. The St. Catharines, Ontario native made 36 saves in the win on Friday night at UConn and followed it up with a 35-save performance on Saturday afternoon at home. The junior, who made at least 10 saves in all six periods of play, posted a .947 save percentage and 2.00 goals against average in moving to 3-0-0 on the year. McArthur's 71 saves on 75 shots marked the second-most in the nation and made her the first goaltender in the nation this season to post 70 or more saves while earning two wins on the weekend.
This marks the fourth career weekly honor for Browne, who earned Player of the Week last season and was twice named Rookie of the Week. McArthur picks up her sixth career weekly honor from the league with one previous Defensive Player of the Week as well as Player of the Week awards on her resume to go with three Rookie of the Week honors.
