UMass Lowell Athletics

After logging five points in a 2-0 week for the UMass Lowell field hockey team, graduate student Jenna Berger (Waterloo, Ontario) has been named River Hawk of the Week.
 
Last week, Berger accumulated five points on one goal and three assists. She first tallied a helper in a 2-1 victory against Boston University on Sept. 9 before setting a new season high with four points in a 6-1 win against Merrimack. In that matchup against the Warriors, Berger helped the River Hawks get out to a 1-0 lead only a minute into the game. Only 15 minutes later, the midfielder scored her first goal of the season, which would end up being the game-winning goal. Berger, who finished the game with another assist in the fourth quarter, now owns the program's DI record for career assists with 22.
 
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.
