Ott wins seventh rookie award, Amanda Lucky to honor roll
POTSDAM, N.Y.—Another strong week earned SUNY Potsdam women’s hockey
player Jordan Ott (Hilton, N.Y./Rochester Edge) her seventh ECAC West
Rookie of the Week award in 14 weeks, while teammate Amanda Lucky (Kanata,
Ontario/Clarkson University) was named to the honor roll.
Ott was clutch again for Potsdam with two goals and two assists. The
freshman scored a goal in Potsdam’s 4-3 overtime loss to Canton on
Saturday and then notched the game-winner on the power play to go along
with two assists in the Bears’ 5-2 win at Canton on Sunday. The two goals
gave her the program’s single-season record of 19, topping Bears’ all-time
leading scorer Annmarie Lewis’ 2012 mark of 17.
Ott is second on the team in scoring with 30 points on 19 goals and 11
assists. The forward ranks eighth in the nation in scoring (1.36 ppg)
overall and second among rookies. She’s third in overall goals-per-game
(0.86), second in the NCAA in power-play goals (9) and fourth in
game-winning goals (4).
Lucky broke out with seven points against the Kangaroos last weekend. The
senior recorded a goal and an assist in Potsdam’s overtime loss on
Saturday. She then exploded for a hat trick and two assists in the Bears
5-2 win at Canton on Sunday. The five-point day marked a personal best for
the senior assistant captain.
Lucky is third on the team in scoring with 11 goals and 14 assists for 25
points. She has amassed 43 points (17g, 26a) for Potsdam in less than two
seasons in a Bears jersey.
Potsdam has matched its single-season bests for overall and conference
wins at 12-8-3 and 7-4-3. The team has clinched its fourth playoff spot in
five seasons. The Bears are currently in fourth place with two games
against Utica to play. A Plattsburgh sweep of Oswego combined with a
Potsdam sweep of Utica would give the Bears the third seed and a home
playoff game on March 1. A split with Utica would give the Bears fourth
place and bring the Pioneers to Maxcy Ice Arena for the playoffs. A tie
and a loss or two losses to Utica would put Potsdam in fifth place and
send the Bears back to the Utica Auditorium for the playoff matchup.
Potsdam hosts Utica at 3 p.m. on Saturday. The Bears then head to Utica
for the regular season finale at 4 p.m. on Sunday.
