LOWELL, Mass. – After a three-point performance in a 4-2 victory over Northeastern on Friday, February 16, sophomore Scout Truman (Lethbridge, Alberta) of the UMass Lowell ice hockey team has been tabbed River Hawk of the Week. 

The forward finished the game with two goals and a helper, as he assisted the team's first goal, before scoring his first at the 7:32 mark of the first period. He received a pass at the blue line and zoomed toward the net, making a nifty move on both a defender and the goalie before backhanding it to the back of the net. Later in the game, he went on to score the team's fourth goal of the game, collecting a loose puck in front of the net and firing it past the goalie to help the River Hawks pick up the victory. He now boasts a team-leading 21 points and 14 assists, with a tie for the team-lead in goals with seven.

This marks the first weekly honor of the year for Truman.

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.
