LOWELL, Mass. - Eva Berkhout (Amersfoort, Utrecht, Neherlands) received River Hawk of the Week honors, in addition to being named America East Defensive Player of the Week.
Â
The goalkeeper led the River Hawks to a pair of league victories last week, marking the squad's most America East wins in a season since joining the conference in 2013.
Â
Berkhout earned both starts in the cage last weekend and turned in two complete-game performances to improve to 4-0 on the year. She totaled 10 saves, including six in the 2-1 battle against UNH. The rookie finished the weekend with a 1.50 goals against average and a .769 save percentage.
Â
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
