Guay Earns Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week

WAKEFIELD, Mass. — Boston College sophomore Alexie Guay has been named the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week, as announced Monday by the league.

Guay tied for first in the country and led Hockey East in goals on the weekend with three. The defender also tied for first in Hockey East with a plus-4 rating while also registering nine shots on goal and one blocked shot over the two-win weekend for the Eagles.

On Friday, Guay potted her second goal of the season early in the third period of the eventual 3-2 win over Holy Cross. The following evening, Guay registered the first multi-goal game of her career, scoring once in the second period and again in the third period of the 5-1 road win. It marked the first multi-goal game by a BC defender since Cayla Barnes scored twice at Syracuse on Oct. 5, 2019.

The Magog, Quebec now has eight points on four goals and four assists on the year to go with 31 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

This marks the first career weekly honor for Guay. It's the second consecutive week an Eagle has been named the league's defensive player of the week, with Barnes earning the honor last week.
