AMESBURY, Mass. – Hockey East announced on Monday that Boston College freshman Abby Newhook has been named the Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week.
Â
The St. John's, Newfoundland native scored two goals in BC's come-from-behind, 3-2, victory at New Hampshire on Saturday night. Newhook got the Eagles on the board late in the second period before putting home the game-winning goal with under four minutes to play to cap the three-goal comeback.

Newhook finished the two-win weekend with two points on two goals, six shots on goal and a plus-1 rating. The forward now has four points on the year off of three goals and one assist, with two of her goals going for game-winners. She is the first BC rookie to score two game-winning goals in their first five career games since Allie Thunstrom '10 did it during her 2006-07 freshman season.
Â
This is marks the first career weekly honor for Newhook.
