Offensive Player of the Week
Jessica Pullar, Bemidji State
Pullar, a sophomore forward from Elk River, Minn., had two goals and an assist in the weekend sweep of North Dakota at the John Glas Fieldhouse. In the 5-4 overtime win on Friday, Pullar scored two goals, including the game-winning goal in overtime. It was her second multi-point game this season, and the third of her career, and it was also the second time this season that she has tallied two or more goals in a game. Pullar also recorded an assist on the game-winning goal in Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Fighting Sioux.
Others Nominated: Jenelle Philipczyk, Minnesota; Jessica Koizumi, Minnesota Duluth; Jana Harrigan, Ohio State; Hailey Clarkson, St. Cloud State
Defensive Player of the Week
Lauri St. Jacques, St. Cloud State
St. Jacques, a junior goaltender from Sturgeon Falls, Ont., backstopped the Huskies to a 1-0 upset victory over No. 1 Wisconsin on Saturday at the National Hockey Center. St. Jacques tallied 36 saves in earning the shutout and totaled 65 saves in the weekend series split. Saturday's win marked her first shutout of the season as the Huskies held the Badgers scoreless for the first time this season. The win marks the first time in school history that the Huskies have defeated two different No. 1 ranked teams in the same season (the other victory over a No. 1 ranked team was on Jan. 7, 2006, with a 4-3 overtime win over St. Lawrence).
Others Nominated: Jill Luebke, Bemidji State; Ashley Albrecht, Minnesota; Lisa Chesson, Ohio State
Rookie of the Week
Gigi Marvin, Minnesota
Marvin, a freshman forward from Warroad, Minn., scored two goals and assisted on another to help the Gophers to a 4-3 overtime win against Minnesota State Saturday at Mariucci Arena. With the Gophers down 1-0, Marvin scored the game-tying goal after the two teams went scoreless for 26 minutes when she scored at 4:56 of the third period. Marvin then scored her second of the game at 6:16 to give the Gophers the 2-1 lead. She followed by setting up Jenelle Philipczyk for the Gophers' third goal of the period.
