UTICA, NY- Freshman Lauren Patterson (Burlington, Ontario/Oakville) of the Utica College women’s hockey team was named the ECAC West Rookie of the Week, Monday, for the second straight week.

Patterson extended her season-opening scoring streak to four games as she totaled five points in a weekend sweep of William Smith. On Saturday, she scored the game-winner and added an assist on the Pioneers’ last-second goal in a 2-0 victory. She followed that up with a career-high three assists in Utica’s 6-1 win over the Herons on Sunday. On the season, she is tied for fourth nationally in rookie scoring with 2.25 points per game, and her seven assists on the season lead the country.

The Pioneers (4-0, 2-0 ECAC West) look to build off their hot start this weekend as they face Oswego State. The teams faceoff in Oswego on Saturday, before traveling to Utica on Sunday for a matinee at the Aud. Both games are scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
